Southern Highlands Conference on Heterocyclic Chemistry, Australia

The Southern Highlands Conference on Heterocyclic Chemistry

​28 - 30 August 2016
​
Peppers Manor House, Moss Vale NSW 

This annual, two full-day residential conference has become a feature of the heterocyclic calendar over the past 27 years. It has been held at one of a select few venues in the beautiful Southern Highlands of New South Wales, south-west of Sydney. In 2016 the meeting will be held at Peppers Manor House, Moss Vale. This picturesque, intimate country house resort exudes old world charm and offers fine food from its award-winning Katers restaurant. Apart from the familiar high standard of accommodation, food and conferencing facility, Peppers Manor House provides an ideal setting, with its landscaped gardens, New Look Affinity spa, outdoor tennis courts and swimming pool, and championship Mount Broughton Golf and Country Club, for lively scientific discussion and exchange. Adequate break time is also allowed in the programme to sample optional off-site excursions to nearby towns of Bowral, Berrima, and Robertson, and the famed Bradman Museum or spectacular Fitzroy Falls.

Conference Invited Speakers

The 2016 Conference President, Associate Professor David Lupton, is responsible for setting the scientific program, which will comprise eight invited speakers, including two senior postgraduate student presentations, each with an extensive period for discussion. Those who have accepted include:
