The IPWEA National Conference was held in Canberra 21 – 25 August 2011 at National Convention Centre. An excellent event for professional development, to catch up with old friends and make some new friends and take a look at some of the current products and services. There were many excellent presentations at the conference with Cliff Atkinson delivering a presentation on improving your presentations, Dr Jacqueline Baiston challenging us all to think about the effect of humans on the use of our natural resources, and Ross Butler making many shed a tear or two as he recounted the recent earthquake events in Christchurch New Zealand.
Congratulations to the Victorians who received scholarship from MEFvic to attend the conference, namely Kurt Pitts and Raj Manihar
We have also found that IPWEAvic had a pool of talent in the Rockwiz contest held at the Gala Dinner on Wednesday night with IPWEAvic Board member, Vicki Shelton, one of the stars of the night.
A great big thankyou to Komatsu the Platinum Sponsor, GMWGroup the Silver Sponsor, Caterpillar the Bronze Sponsor, Maddocks, OPUS and UMS
