If you are a registered migration agent (RMA) looking to gain valuable industry insights and cultivate ongoing working relationships with some of the best experts in the business, then the Migration Conferences 2013 are must-attend events.

Providing key information directly from specialists in Australia's immigration industry, the conferences keep RMAs informed of the latest developments across the main visa subclasses and offer excellent networking opportunities.

And if you want to attend an event designed by RMAs for RMAs, the Canberra conference is the first on the calendar this year in Australia, taking place over August 23 and 24 at Parliament House.

Across the two days, you will be able to attend a number of seminars presented by Christopher Levingston, accredited specialist in immigration law.

These presentations cover a range of topics, including SkillSelect, ethics and professional practice, the Employer Nomination Scheme and comprehensive examinations of immigration visa subclasses.

Why Canberra?

With the Canberra event being hosted at Parliament House, RMAs already benefit from enjoying one of the city's most impressive architectural achievements. An iconic Australian building, visitors can take some time out of the conference to learn more about the meeting place of the country's parliament.

However, Canberra has many more things to offer, and those looking to explore the city can brush up on their knowledge of native flora and fauna at the botanic gardens or the National Zoo and Aquarium. While movie lovers can visit the Arc Cinema at the National Film and Sound Archive, which presents some of the best Australian and international cinema.

The Migration Conference 2013 presentations wrap up at 5.15pm each day, so those hoping to enjoy the local nightlife will have plenty of time to explore the city's bars and clubs, or perhaps visit Casino Canberra for a flutter. For a quieter evening, the ACT capital also has a variety of restaurants and cafes.
