SAPC Conference 2016

Molweni,

 

We are pleased to say that we have had a very good response to our SAPC National Conference. Bookings are going fast and furious and many people have commented enthusiastically about the rich and diverse conference programme. Thank you all for your support and encouragement.

For those who have not yet booked and who are concerned about costs, here are a number of options that might make the decision easier:

  1. Group rates: For 5 or more registrations we are offering a reduced registration of – R1,800 per person/ R650 per student
  2. For out of town people we have retained the early-bird fee to compensate for the extra costs incurred
  3.  CPD points (both normal CEU’s and ethics points) have been applied for.
  4. The AGM on the Sunday is intended as a cost-saving strategy, saving on travel costs. If you need to represent your group at the AGM you may be able to negotiate a travel subsidy from your group?
  5. We would like to remind you that skyping is another way in which you can participate in the AGM if your situation does not allow you to attend in person. Please alert us if you will be skyping in to the AGM meeting so that we can make the necessary technical provisions.

We encourage you all to attend the Cocktail Party on the Friday 28th October.

  • We are in the process of securing an address by an Official of the Western Cape Health Department
  • Bea Wirz  bwirzct@gmail.com and Siobhan Sweeney Siobhan@humannature.co.za are busy organising a SAPC Poster Display of our members’ diverse psychoanalytic work.
  • Nicky Jordan nicolettecjordan@gmail.com is setting up a book display of our memberships publications.
  • Enzo Sinisi enzo@hixnet.co.za  is setting up an innovative COG initiative facilitating the ongoing dialogue between members before, during and after the conference.
  • Dain Peters and Candice Dumas have been developing and fundraising for the piloting of new SAPC Video Award Project. In support of this, there will be a screening of 4 short videos created by the UCT students.

Many thanks to all of these members for all of their hard work!  As you can see the cocktail party promises to be a lively event. It is scheduled to end at 19h15 so that still gives you time to proceed with your normal Friday evening plans or, even better, of devising other ways to continue the evening together with out of town colleagues. Such networking is particularly central to this SAPC initiative.

Make sure you don’t miss out by booking soon to attend the cocktail party and by supporting these efforts by contributing your posters, publications and signing up for the COG initiative.

We are looking forwarding to see you all at the Conference.

Best wishes

SAPC Conference Committee
