CPD in Florence, Italy

Northern Italy is where the formal study of law and medicine originated as far as the western intellectual tradition is concerned. In this millennium, with the focus being on a Europe with no boundaries, Florence is an excellent place to focus on how European traditions can be of use to professional practice. 
Several of the greatest artists of the age practiced in Florence, including Michelangelo and Botticelli. Wander through galleries showcasing historical and contemporary work, and visit the streets that inspired some of the greatest artistic minds in history. Florence, like many cities of the Renaissance, is home to numerous churches, public buildings, and houses constructed with Romanesque or Gothic architecture.
Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, Florence stands as a timeless gem of art, culture, and history. Renowned as the birthplace of the Renaissance, this enchanting city captivates visitors with its wealth of architectural masterpieces, world-class museums, and charming streets. Walking through Florence feels like stepping back in time as you wander past iconic landmarks such as the magnificent Duomo, with its striking dome designed by Brunelleschi, and the iconic Ponte Vecchio, adorned with jewelry shops spanning the Arno River.
The city’s artistic legacy extends beyond museum walls, with every piazza and palazzo serving as a canvas for the works of past and present artisans. Amidst the cultural riches, Florence also offers a culinary adventure, where trattorias and osterias beckon with tantalizing Tuscan cuisine and local wines, providing a taste of la dolce vita.
Beyond its historical and artistic allure, Florence invites visitors to embrace the essence of Italian lifestyle. Whether strolling through the bustling markets of San Lorenzo, savoring a gelato along the picturesque streets, or simply basking in the ambiance of the city’s timeless beauty from the serene Boboli Gardens, Florence casts an irresistible spell that lingers long after departure. With its blend of rich heritage, artistic treasures, and gastronomic delights, Florence stands as a destination where the past and present seamlessly intertwine, offering an unforgettable journey through the heart of Italy’s cultural soul.

Academic Agenda

At CPE Conferences, our mission is twofold – to deliver high quality academic content from Australian and International specialists in medicine, law and dentistry and to provide access to experts local to the conference destination. Our longstanding tradition has been to push the delegates’ educational boundaries by exploring the conference destination not only through travel, but also through its medical and legal environment and political context.  We do this by arranging local expert speakers and academic field trips and believe this gives learning a new dimension.

The bulk of the academic content consists of leading Australian practitioners presenting on their area of expertise. To provide diversity in our academic agendas, and particularly to enable us to provide unique local experiences, we do not publish the academic agenda in advance. Often local presenters are unable to commit to a specific session time months in advance. We believe (and indeed our feedback reflects) that the local presenters and field trips add immeasurable value to the academic experience and as such we want to preserve our ability to include the local experts. The academic agenda is released on the day of Welcome Drinks, the day before the first academic sessions.

Apply To Speak

We encourage all our delegates to engage with the academic program by applying to present a topic at our conferences for a number reasons. Showcase your recent publication, interesting case, area of expertise or update on an important topic; approved applications receive a discounted registration rate; for some colleges or societies you may attract more CPD points. Our presenters often gain more from the networking aspects of the conference and have frequently been contacted after their presentation for professional development opportunities such as appearing as an expert witness, being briefed on a matter or other general referrals. We have two options when participating in our academic program, a full speaker registration or an Experts’ Forum presentation. Our speaker registration attracts a discounted fee, and requires a minimum of 1 hour presentation. An Experts’ Forum presentation is shorter in duration and does not attract a discount. It is for those wishing to present for a minimum of 20 minutes.
