We have under 50 places for registration available as of 1.00pm today!

So if you are still planning to come please get onto it immediately.
There is an upper limit because of the Hilton venue so we will have to
close registrations after it is reached.

With the exception of the Automotive industry tours - Manufacturing and
Retail - all other industry tours are booked out.

There is good news - all concurrent sessions are running and hopefully
first choices have been met wherever possible.

At this stage, with the exception of Dr Ken Boston who has had to cancel
and is being replaced very kindly and at very short notice by Robin
Shreeve, Deputy Director General of TAFE NSW, all our major presenters
are in place. We'll keep our fingers crossed!

The response so far has been superb - the enthusiasm extends from
members and VET in schools people everywhere to presenters and session
hosts and chairs.

While there is still a way to go the organising committee is beginning
to breathe a collective sigh of relief!

Our Conference Organisers, National Curriculum Services, have advised
that registration confirmations have been posted and will continue
immediately on receipt.

Thanks for the support - lets make next week an event in vocational
learning to be remembered!!!.

PS Places are still available at the conference dinner, although these
are filling fast. This will also be a great evening at the magnificent
Regent Theatre. Cost is an additional $88 but includes everything -
dinner, beverages and entertainment. An excellent opportunity to
informally network and have some fun!
