Invitation to attend

The Asia Pacific Association for the Control of Tobacco invites you to register for APACT 2010, being held from 6 – 9 October 2010 at the Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre, NSW, Australia.

For over 20 years APACT has been a crossroads for those in Asia-Pacific working to reduce the burden of tobacco caused disease. It is the premier tobacco control conference for the Asia Pacific region and the focus this year is on Change, Challenge and Progress: FCTC in the Asia Pacific.

APACT 2010 aims to encourage tobacco control and public health advocates, researchers, practitioners, policy makers and especially youth leaders to share experiences and discuss strategies for implementation of the FCTC and for dealing with the tobacco industry.
 

APACT 2010 has a scientific program that will be appreciated for its depth and understanding. Additionally, APACT 2010 will take place in the city of Sydney with its own attractions and beauty.

One important feature of this conference will be the poster presentations and the networking opportunity provided during the no-conflict lunch period each day. Additionally the conference will culminate with a presentation by one of the great public health speakers, Professor Srinath Reddy giving the Dr. David Yen Memorial Lecture. This is a not-to-be-missed event.

On behalf of the APACT 2010 organising committee, I look forward to giving you a warm welcome in Sydney.
