Making Links 2007
Emerging Technology: New Opportunities for the Community Sector
30th - 31st October
NSW Teachers’ Federation Conference Centre, Sydney

Draft program now online
Another Making Links - another feast of choices in the conference  
program. True to this year's theme, there is a strong focus on the  
opportunities presented by emerging technology, with a mix of case  
studies and practical sessions. Come along and be inspired.
We are pleased to welcome presenters from organisations as diverse as  
Australians for Native Title and Reconciliation (ANTaR), The Spastic  
Centre and Greenpeace. Making Links also acknowledges the generous  
support of Adobe Systems Pty Ltd, who will run workshops on Photoshop  
and Dreamweaver.

Your space
You’ve got a fantastic project but you didn’t want to do a big  
presentation at the conference - here’s your chance to brag about it  
anyway. On Tuesday after lunch the computer lab and another room will  
be available for Making Links delegates to showcase their projects  
for 10 - 20 minutes each. There won’t be a formal program for this –  
just book yourself in on Tuesday morning and we’ll make sure everyone  
knows about it. If there’s enough interest we may even repeat it on  
Wednesday morning.

Earlybird rate closes soon
Don't miss out on the generous early bird rate - register before 24  
September at http://www.makinglinks.org.au/
