EOI"S Closed - A Great Response for 2008
Tuesday, March 18, 2008 - 03:17 PM

Thanks to everyone who has submitted an EOI for Congress 2008. We have over 50 different groups wanting to do workshops, stalls, conversations and real people doing real things snapshots.

EOI's have now closed after an extra week extension and the Working Party is busy fitting everyone into the program. It's looking like a fantastic couple of days where people will be able to hear some great stories, have some inspiring conversations, enjoy the stalls and get involved in some serious learning with our longer workshops on day two.
