We are very excited to announce that our workshop programme has been finalised and is now available to view on the conference website. We think it provides something for everyone, in all kinds of libraries, and we are delighted that so many wonderful presenters have agreed to share their knowledge and experience with us. Delegates will be contacted after registering to select their workshops. Every effort will be made to ensure that all delegates are entered into the workshops of their choice but in the case of workshop sessions being full, preference will be given to those who have already paid their registration fee.
And in more exciting news, the Conference dinner is shaping up to be an event not to be missed! The dinner will be a buffet at the Kingsgate Hotel in central Dunedin and our guest speaker for the evening will be the effervescent Julie Woods (also known as That Blind Woman). Julie is much sought after on the Dunedin speaking circuit, being that perfect blend of inspiration and entertainment. Places at both the Conference dinner and our fabulous Friday night event can be reserved as part of the workshop selection process. (Please note: the Conference dinner is not included in your registration fee and will cost an additional $55 per person).
