The SPHERE 2017 International Symposium will have four key focus area:

4)  Are We Listening?


The Symposium will be intertwined with:

Via Art
Via Art will focus on multisensory interactive and participatory artworks to support and complement the Symposium program. Composer and audiovisual experimentalist Dr Robin Fox, artist and musician with a doctorate of psychology Dr Michaela Davies, along with performers from NIDA will deliver world class premiere performances intertwined with the Symposium proceedings. Dr George Khut’s Mobile Mood Lab and soundscape by Lightwell can also be experienced.

Via Industry
Via Industry is a formal networking event, taking place over breakfast on day two of the Symposium. Based on the concept of speed networking, participants will share insights and challenges on key health issues, providing a platform for collaboration and exchange. Most importantly, participants will make new contacts and develop new relationships to support their own work in the health industry. Symposium attendees will also have the opportunity to organise short meetings with other attendees in a dedicated space during Symposium breaks. These meetings can be organised through our Conference APP.

Via Innovation
In healthcare, as with many industries, start-up companies foreshadow the new horizon ahead of the mainstream community. Dynamic, agile, risk-taking, innovative - Via Innovation will showcase the best and brightest health start-ups that NSW has to offer. There will be the opportunity to meet and discuss new technologies and new ideas with the creators themselves. Come and experience their products first hand and be one of the first to peer into the next era of healthcare.
