Abstract
It has been my privilege to work with an enthusiastic and forward-thinking SSPC, alongside the team at Dietitians Australia (DA), who together have shared a vision of creating a conference that encourages us to Be Bold in dietetics. I am thrilled that as a profession we can come together on Kaurna Country, after 2 years of virtual conferences, and I acknowledge Traditional Owners and Elders past, present and emerging for enabling us to do so.
To be bold is to challenge the status quo; it is to sit with discomfort in order to learn and extend ourselves and our practice; it is to ask hard questions and if there is a better way that we could do things. Being bold requires us to be courageous and to take risks, both personally and as a profession. As dietitians, our personal and professional selves are intricately interwoven and our conference subthemes are designed to engage with these concepts.
