12th Biennial SACNA Conference

SACNA is honoured to invite you to their 12th Biennial Conference from 10 - 12 March 2010 at the Indaba Hotel & Conference Centre, Johannesburg, South Africa. With our country hosting the Soccer World Cup, 2010 is set to be a momentous year in the history of South African sport. Johannesburg will be in prime condition with many of the roads resurfaced and hopefully the Gautrain will even be in operation. 2010 will also be an exciting year for the South African neuropsychological community as the 12th biennial conference is set to be a bumper event not to be missed. SACNA conferences are well known among South African psychologists for their high standard of speakers and organisation. The 2010 conference will be no exception as they are privileged to host two exceptional international keynote presenters, as well as a number of local invited speakers. The organising committee has been hard at work to ensure that this conference lives up to the usual standard. This is an ideal forum for researchers from a variety of disciplines who are involved in research related to brain and behaviour to showcase their work. You are encourage to submit your abstracts timeously. The conference is also an opportunity for psychologists to network with colleagues and exchange ideas. The conference will be an important learning opportunity for anyone with an interest in brain function. Students as well as those who are starting out in the neuropsychological field and/or related fields are especially welcome.
