CPD in Positano, Italy (Test Event 1)

With our first conference in Positano dating back over 20 years, this has long been one of our most popular conference destinations. It is not difficult to see why: the dramatic cliffs of this coastal region have created breathtakingly beautiful villages, where the buildings appear to be piled on top of one another. Caught between towering mountains and the azure blue sea, the town of Positano boasts spectacular architecture that draws in travellers from all over the world. The Europe Asia Conference will take place in close proximity to Positano, at the Grand Hotel Tritone. Dramatically positioned on the edge of the cliffs that define the coastline of this region, the hotel boasts spectacular views of Capri, Positano and the archipelago of Li Galli. Outside of the conferences you can make use of the two swimming pools and private beach, enjoy dinner with sublime sea views, book a private boat tour, visit the area’s historic monuments or explore the wines from the region’s coastal vineyards.
The Amalfi Coast in Italy is one of the most picturesque regions of the world. American author John Steinbeck rightly observed about one of the regions jewels “ Positano bites deep”. .Here is how the Harvard society described this region “The beauty of the Amalfi Coast can not be described in words. Steep cliffs plunge down into the bright blue sea, and little towns wedge into narrow ravines. Picturesque villages and stunning panoramas provide an aesthetic pulse, the delicious food and throbbing nightlife provide for the region’s corporeal beat”. It is one of those cultural cross roads, where you will see the architecture of the Saracens and the Greeks, with the area forming the backdrop for part of Homer’s tales in the Odyssey (ie Ulysses tying himself to the mast of the boat to avoid the seductive pull of the female ‘Sirens’ who lured sailors onto the rocky reefs with their sweet refrains). (There’s a vaguely similar story in Virgil’s Aeneid). As a centre of fashion it is important to note that the bikini was invested in Positano in 1959! The conference venue is the 4 star Hotel Tritone, a wonderful hotel on the edge of the cliffs overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. It also has a lift taking you down to the Hotel’s private beach. All rooms are airconditioned and each have a terrace overlooking the sea.

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.
