Introduction

Approximately 150 TAFE Directors, senior educational leaders, executive officers, practitioners, employers and policy makers are expected to attend the 2009 TRIC Conference. They will travel to Port Lincoln from all Australian states and territories to engage in dialogue about issues of significance to the delivery of vocational education and training in rural and isolated communities.

The theme 'Navigating the waves of change' will provide the intellectual and creative framework for the conference, while an exciting program of keynote addresses, seminars and nano-talks will provide the vehicle for ideas to be shared, debated and refined.

A fun social program with a unique Port Lincoln (the 'Seafood Capital of Australia') flavour will form an integral part of the conference. In particular, a welcome reception will 'kick off' the conference and a formal dinner featuring regional produce and local wines, will provide a fantastic networking space on the second night of the conference.

The opportunities for sponsors to showcase their products and services to 'people that really matter' are therefore many and varied, but will all represent very good value-for-money.

For more information about sponsorship opportunities please contact the Conference Manager, Jenny McCormick on 0411 777 835, or email secretariat@tricconference.org.au.
