CU09 Program
Connecting Up 09 conference has an exciting program which is a bit different from previous years.  The aim is to give you some practical ideas to takeaway in a fun learning and networking environment!

Feedback from previous conferences has asked for more workshops and more interaction with each other and guest speakers. This year will have all this!

  • Opportunities to network and share successes and challenges with other nonprofits from around Australia.
  • Hands on workshops to build or enhance your web2.0 skills.
  • Use of a range of communication channels to encourage those who are unable to attend face to face to become involved in the discussions.

See web 2.0 / social networking in action!

Watch the web site for release of the program in coming days!
