Programme Development
After some great conversations and feedback from council staff who were part of the six advisory groups, we're excited to share the latest version of the ALGIM Annual Conference programme. We've now reached the stage where we're looking to confirm presenters, speakers and facilitators. There may still be a few changes as plans continue to come together, but this is the most up to date version and gives a fantastic glimpse of the inspiring sessions, ideas and conversations you can look forward to at this year's conference.
