EDI Speed Networking Lunch
As part of ASM's commitment to EDI, the EDI committee will be hosting a speed-networking lunch at the conference! Come join us for lunch and an open discussion about the role of EDI within Australian microbiology in a welcoming, safe space. The event will follow a fast-paced rotation format, where participants switch chairs every 5 minutes to engage in brief, science-focused conversations.
We'll provide some ice-breaker questions and topics surrounding EDI in Australian microbiology to help facilitate the connections, that will hopefully extend beyond the conference!
