    Tickets now on sale for Field of Women and Plan B conference

    Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) is pleased to announce that tickets are now on sale for the iconic Field of Women event on Sunday 12 August.

    We are also thrilled to announce we will be hosting the Plan B survivorship conference for 200 people in Melbourne the day before (Saturday 11 August). All conference attendees will receive a Field of Women ticket included in their conference registration.

    Conference information

    While the end of treatment may seem like the end of your breast cancer to others, you may find this time brings new challenges.

    What’s ‘normal’ after cancer may be very different from your ‘old normal’.

    Learn to live well beyond breast cancer at the Plan B survivorship conference, the day before the iconic Field of Women.

    Whether your diagnosis was recent or many years ago, Plan B: Beyond Breast Cancer will help you to get the information, support and tips you need to deal with side effects such as fatigue, lymphoedema, relationship challenges and more.

    Our website has more information about the one-day conference. This will be updated as we announce our program and speakers. 

    Our website also has links to assist you with booking travel and accommodation for the weekend, with thanks to our friends at V/Line, Virgin, Crown Melbourne, Accor and Quest Apartments.

    In the meantime, please see details below and for any enquiries, please email conference@bcna.org.au.

    Hello @SoldierCrab
    I have followed up regarding the bursary.  There is some funding available for people from rural or regional locations to attend the Plan B conference.  If interested, you will need to email jmoore@bcna.org.au  please provide your first name, surname, where you are located and your email address.  Jane will be in touch regarding possible funding as there are limited places available.
