MEDIA FOR science conferences

Your conference creates news stories

Conferences are an opportunity to get your research field in front of the press

You’ve invested time and energy on getting top thought leaders together in one place. We can help you to make the most of it, from winning a bid, through to connecting journalists with speakers during the conference.

Conference organisers face special pressures that we understand. We led successful bids to bring two international conferences to Australia and then ran one of them: the World Conference of Science Journalists

We’ve supported over 20 major science and technology conferences

We’ve helped conferences large and small.

Highlights include generating over two hours of national television and 15 hours of radio features and talk for the 19th Congress of Genetics in 2003, and announcing the discovery of the Higgs Boson in conjunction with the International Conference on High Energy Physics, where we handled over 150 media requests.

Conference organisers face special pressures that we understand. We led successful bids to bring two international conferences to Australia and then ran one of them: the World Conference of Science Journalists, which attracted 620 delegates.

A single electron reader for silicon quantum computing

Dr Andrea Morello reported on the progress of a team led by University of New South Wales engineers and physicists which has developed a “single electron reader”, one of the key building blocks needed to make a quantum computer using silicon. Quantum computers promise exponential increases in processing speed over today’s computers through their use…

From the chaos of stirring coffee to stirring rocks and cleaning up polluted ground water

Adding to chaos underground could help manage polluted water, according to CSIRO physicist Guy Metcalfe. His team has been working on “chaotic advection”, which describes the motion of particles carried in a flow—from smoke drifting in the air, to the mixing of the milk into your morning coffee. The same principle can be used to…

Lies, damn lies and climate change sceptics: what has really caused recent global warming?

David Karoly will rebut the common arguments and misinformation that question the role of human activity, particularly increasing concentrations of atmospheric greenhouse gases, as the main cause of recently observed global warming. He says, “Recent increases in greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere are due to human activity. The pattern and magnitude of observed global-scale…
