It is with great pleasure, on behalf of InSiGHT that we extend a warm invitation to our conference that will take place in Cairns, Tropical North Queensland, Australia - the only place in the world where two UNESCO World Heritage areas meet; the Tropical Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef.

The meeting officially convenes on Wednesday afternoon the 28th of August with a Welcome Reception and ends Saturday 31st August around midday. The meeting will have associated satellite meetings: the Australasian Cancer Genetics Meeting; August 26th - 27th and the Human Variome Project to be held 28th August as part of the InSiGHT meeting.

We therefore encourage you to participate by registering and submitting your abstract for an oral or poster presentation, or simply join us to meet others and learn the latest in Colon Cancer Genetics. So, come along and immerse yourself in not only an educational meeting, but also a warm and friendly meeting. You can do all this while enjoying the fantastic surroundings and experiences Cairns has to offer.

Registration to the conference also includes a guided excursion to the surrounding Cairns rainforest and the Conference Dinner.
