ready, set

Our annual conference for 2012 will take place on Friday 27 and Saturday 28 July at Swinburne University. The conference provides attendees with a broad range of opportunities to network with other professionals, both teaching and industry, and hear and learn from others. Participants will see a showcase of new and innovative art, design and technology materials, methods and media. In particular, there will be a range of workshops and discussion/information sessions aimed at increasing your understanding and skills in the teaching of the new VCD Study for 2013 and onwards.

We are excited to announce that Stephen Banham of Letterbox is our Keynote speaker and will open the conference with his address on the Friday morning.
