S E L F SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES 25 28 SEPTEMBER 2017 MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA
WELCOME It's time for the 2017 SELF Conference. The SELF2017 theme, SELF - From Positive Psychology/Education to Practice, will explore the synergy between scientific researchers and practitioners. In addition to scientific papers, posters and keynotes, there will be a hands on, practical stream that will show you how to conduct evidence-based interventions. After eight successful conferences, SELF2017 promises to be the best yet; the ideal combination of meeting with like-minded scholars with the drawing power to attract top international researchers. Herb Marsh SELF 2017 Conference Chair As always, a highlight will be incredible keynote speakers (Roy Baumeister, Stuart Biddle, Ed Deci, John Hattie, Michael Hogg, Timothy Judge, Hazel Markus, Reinhard Pekrun & Michael Wehmeyer) meeting and learning from leading international researchers in our field. SELF2017 will include an invited symposium on Indigenous Thriving led by the new Australian Centre of Indigenous Thriving (ACIT) that is housed within the Institute for Positive Psychology and Education. Even more than previous SELF conferences there will also be more opportunities for early-career-researchers to meet each other in a "fireside chat" and for social networking among all participants. I look forward to an ongoing partnership with you and your organisation. Herb Marsh SELF 2017 Conference Chair
