Invitation from the Chair

It gives me great pleasure as the Chair of the 2008 AUSTAFE Conference Organising Committee to welcome friends and colleagues from the TAFE community and broader VET sector to Adelaide for the annual AUSTAFE Conference to be held from Wednesday 1 - Friday 3 October, 2008.

The venue for the conference will be the internationally renowned Regency International Centre for Hospitality, Leisure and Food Studies located on the TAFE SA Regency Campus, Regency Park (approx 15 mins from the centre of Adelaide).

This year the conference theme will be 'Forging Dynamic Futures'. This theme will be explored through the sub-themes of: 'Leadership'; Business Sustainability; Innovation in Teaching and Learning; and 'Social Inclusion'.

An exciting program of keynote addresses, workshops, conversation cafés, seminars, ideagoras and nano-talks is being developed and will be available on the conference website from Monday 18 August, 2008.

In addition to the formal program the conference will feature an package of informal learning experiences and networking sessions with a unique South Australian flavour – guaranteed to surprise and delight.

I hope that you will join us for what promises to be a thought-provoking, transformational and fun event!
