2022 AAP Conference Announcement
The AAP conference in 2022 will be held fully online. This decision has been jointly made by the AAP Conference Committee and ANU Conference organisers. We are all disappointed that we are unable to offer an in-person conference this year. Unfortunately, planning a COVID-safe in-person conference this year was not possible to do with confidence. We are pleased, though, to confidently plan for an exciting online conference from 28 June– 7 July.
I’d like to take this opportunity to warmly thank ANU for all the work they have put in so far, particularly the ANU Conference Organisers—Bronwyn Finnigan (Lead Organiser), Brian Hedden and Claire Benn. Bronwyn, Brian and Claire have approached the local aspects of conference planning with enthusiasm, optimism, generosity, and flexibility. We hope to see the Conference back in Canberra in the not-too-distant future.
Several factors were involved in the decision not to offer an in-person conference this year. The quickly changing nature of the pandemic, the varied political responses to it, different tolerances to the associated risks by members, and the evolving nature of government and university-level policies and procedures all made planning too difficult this year.
We are committed to developing procedures around pandemic planning for the 2023 conference which will be hosted by Australian Catholic University in Melbourne. A survey will be sent to all AAP members following the conference which will include questions about specific concerns you may have about an in-person conference. In 2023 we will attempt to accommodate as much as possible specific concerns. Although, we do hope by 2023 we have come through the pandemic.
I’m sure many will be disappointed by this news, the opportunity to catch up and do philosophy face to face is sorely missed. No doubt, there will also be some who are relieved. No matter our view, I hope you will engage in the online conference with gusto. The AAP Conference Committee will now take over planning the 2022 online conference, on the back of last year’s success I’m confident it will be a great conference.
Stuart Brock, AAP CEO
