News from HEIA(Q)

What’s in store at the HEIA(Q) 2023 State Conference?

WOW!! What a great line up of talented and inspiring presenters for the 2023 HEIAQ State Conference!

The keynotes are drawn from the best of internationally-known presenters, both are experts in their field as well as talented presenters. We have been so fortunate in securing these presenters.

We feel extremely blessed and lucky to have Dr Leyla Acaroglu for our first keynote. With a string of credentials to her name, her presentation, including concepts around design and sustainability will be informative, provocative and provide the tools to help us change our world for a positive future.

Professor Felice Jacka OAM, is our second keynote of the day and will certainly wake us from our afternoon torpor. As a top researcher world-wide, her findings around Nutritional Psychiatry and the role diet plays as a significant risk factor for mental disorders have been ground-breaking. She will also establish healthy diet as an important treatment in combating these conditions.

And the fun does not stop there. We have a fantastic range of presenters for our concurrent sessions this year and they are certain to meet the needs of a wide range of teachers and subject areas.
