The Association`s fourth biennial conference, NAAC2011, will be held at the Australian Centre for Ancient Numismatic Studies, Macquarie University, 26 - 27 November 2011. The format will be similar to previous NAA conferences, but restricted to the weekend with the Saturday sessions devoted to ancients and the Sunday sessions covering all other numismatic topics. There will also be a conference dinner on the Saturday evening, at the Ranch Bistro in Herring Rd (cnr. Epping Road) just across the road from Macquarie University.

The conference timetable, abstracts and registration form will be available soon on the NAA website.
