The Sleep4Performance
Seminar
20/21 June 2022
hosted by Dr Ian C Dunican
To support the ever-growing discipline of sleep and performance, we are again hosting the Sleep4Performance Seminar. The seminar will showcase the emerging scientific work of sleep and related fields of research that cross multiple disciplines. This seminar is FREE for all. We are now inviting abstracts from anyone and everyone, and registration is open for attendees.
How you can get involved:
1. SPEAKERS
We invite abstracts from everyone, from honours students to full professors, medical practitioners, industry leaders, and health and safety practitioners. It doesn’t have to be a research experiment. Case studies, opinions, reviews, expert comments – all abstracts are welcome. We are particularly interested in research that crosses multiple disciplines. An expert panel will select the top 12 presentations, which will then be invited to speak.
Abstract submissions are now closed.
2. ATTEND
Register now to attend sessions online. There will be four one-hour symposium sessions to cater for different time zones.
The Details:
- 21 June 2022 (Australian WST)
20 June 2022 (USA PST) - The seminar will be conducted online via ZOOM

Speaker Prizes:
Presentations will be viewed and scored by an independent reviewing panel of industry experts, with the top voted presentation from each session winning a cash prize of AUD500.
