2011 IAP2 Australasia Conference

IAP2 Conferences are recognised as the forum where public participation practitioners come together to learn from world-renowned master practitioners, network and share with each other, and take away tools and techniques to meet the increasingly complex challenges faced by communities, governments and others.

The Australasian Conference for Public Participation 2011 - Sydney, Australia, October 20-21 - is a premier biennial event, building on IAP2's enviable reputation, and offering a dynamic, interactive and targeted program packed with opportunities to

• Hear from inspiring leaders,
• Learn the latest techniques from the world’s thought leaders,
• Join practicing peers to discuss creative approaches in the field,
• Push the boundaries of engagement practices,
• Share and create innovations and opportunities,
• Celebrate and recognise leading achievements in the practice
  
  and share the secrets that create quality community engagement outcomes.

Whether you’re new to the field of public participation, an experienced practitioner, or a senior executive wanting to learn more, the program is packed with opportunities that will appeal, excite and engage you.
