Sincere thanks to our conference delegates, keynote speakers, concurrent session presenters, facilitators, sponsors, exhibitors and staff, for supporting Carers Australia in the running of a very successful 7^th International Carers Conference in Adelaide, South Australia, from 4-6 October 2017.

Under the conference theme - Caring into the Future: the new world? - we re-imagined caring into the future, providing a catalyst for innovation and collaboration; sharing improvements in the way we support unpaid carers, care-recipients, their families, networks and communities.

In addition to recognising and learning from past achievements, the conference focussed on the future, the challenges and opportunities ahead, and showcase innovation in policy and practice.

The 7th International Carers Conference brought together key stakeholders across a broad range of community and business sectors: policy-makers, community leaders, business leaders, researchers, grassroots advocates, practitioners, consumers and carers.

Delegates travelled from across Australia, across the Asia Pacific region and across the globe, along with national and international high-profile speakers; to engage in a meeting of minds.

Videos of the keynote presentations and access to concurrent session presentations (permission allowing) will be uploaded to the website in the next few weeks.
