AWMS 2009 was structured around a series of symposia addressing the topics listed below. There were also  Open Sessions which will accommodate presentations on other topics and a Student Symposium.

• Genetic management of fragmented populations: Should we re-establish gene flow? 
• Interactions among invasive mammals: impacts on native biodiversity and ecosystem processes. 
• Game Management and Pest Management in the South Pacific - beyond the barriers. 
• Mitigating impacts of pest species through non-lethal management strategies. 
• Assisted colonisation: translocation of species into areas that are anticipated to become suitable habitat with climate change. 

Participants at conferences come from many backgrounds including government wildlife, land management, and agricultural agency staff; CSIRO and CRIs; universities and other research groups; and private groups (including game associations and conservation groups). Students, Indigenous People, and invited speakers may be eligible for financial support - see criteria for eligibility and student subsidy application form.

AWMS welcomes sponsorship support from interested organisations. A range of sponsorship options will be available, and we are happy to discuss other options you might wish to consider.
