Club Health 2005 will be held in Sydney at the Rydges Jamison Hotel on 29-30 September. This is one of the few national and international conferences that give user groups, and others dedicated to real harm reduction, a chance to interact with policy makers.
Come see Johnboy, Cowboy Mac, Madmick and DrPlatypus stick it to the man! I'm not really sure what that means, but what I am sure of is that it will all be very entertaining. It begins with:
Club Health: the clubbers experience
madmick, Code Blue, Canberra
And ends with:
If the government won't pay... Peer-Initiated harm reduction in the club drugs world.
Johnboy Davidson, Enlighten, Australia
Pillreports.com V2: facilitating harm reduction worldwide.
Cowboy Mac, Enlighten, Australia.
The next generation of harm minimisation: evidence-based vs. electorate-based drugs policy.
Dr David Caldicott, Emergency Research Fellow, Royal Adelaide Hospital
But it's not just us. There are dozens of other interesting speakers from all around the world. Here is the official blurb:

Previous Club Health conferences in the Netherlands, Italy and Australia have proved successful in attracting international audiences interested in all aspects of nightlife. Furthermore, although a key feature of these conferences is recreational drug use, the wider nightlife focus of Club Health broadens debate to include sexual health, transport, crime, emergency planning and other nighttime safety issues. As a result the conference attracts a wide range of delegates including health practitioners, police, licensing authorities, bar and club owners, environmental health professionals, representatives from the music and travel industries and club-goers themselves. We hope to attract a similar range of delegates to this conference.
Confirmed international speakers include Lisa McDonald from the Royal Institute for Deaf People (RNID), UK who will be speaking on the issue of
clubbing and hearing loss; Aimee Ferraro from the University of Colorado who will discuss the implications of the Rave Act in the USA; and Karen Hughes from John Moores University, Liverpool, UK presenting a paper on clubbing and sexual behaviour.
Australian speakers include Dr Iain McGregor from University of Sydney; Dr Rod Irvine from University of Adelaide, Dr Adam Winstock from South West Area Health Service in Sydney: and Dr David Caldicott from the Royal Adelaide Hospital.
Club Health 2005: Sydney will be held on 29th and 30th September 2005 at the Rydges Jamison in Sydney. A registration form and further details are available at the following weblink:
