This year's conference dinner is taking place at the iconic Adelaide Town Hall built in the 1860s it combines magnificent architecture and grandeur. Not only are we 'rethinking' Sexual Health, but we're also 'rethinking' the conference dinner. Instead of opting for a sit down three course meal the event will include plentiful South Australian produce from market stall stations and substantial canapes to allow you even more time for networking with your peers. There will also be entertainment that the Sexual Health Conference is famous for, but don't worry there'll also be plenty of seating for you to have a break between dances! One beverage per guest on arrival will be provided. A cash bar will operate for the remainder of the evening.

Continuing the conference theme of 'rethinking', join in the fun and get your 'rethinking cap' on for the dinner. There will be a prize for the best hat on the night.
