Friday 28th September
Early registration, Guest Speaker and Unconference
From 5pm in the Otago Girls' High School Library and Staff Room, included in the price of registration.
(For catering purposes, please indicate your attendance at this event when selecting your workshops.)
The fun begins on Friday night, with drinks and nibbles and a chance to catch up with colleagues from around the country before the conference begins in earnest. The registration desk will be open from 5pm, before Kyle Mewburn entertains us with details of how her personal journey has impacted on her writing and career. Following that, there will be an Unconference session - an informal sharing of ideas and tips that will also include plenty of fun!
We expect the evening will conclude around 7.30pm
Thank you to The New Zealand Book Council for sponsoring this evening's speaker.
