Please let me know when registrations are open.
Also, by the way, links to previous Seniors Conferences i.e. 2012 & 2011 didn’t work. Nothing came up when I clicked on the links.
Thanks,

Thanks Jane – Conference registration opens 15th April. And we’ll fix up those links. Have a look at the workshop suggestions and let us know if you have other ideas that you would like to see at the conference – cheers, Donna
Hi Donna,
Thanks for letting me know this information. Sorry I didn’t see reply until now. I thought a response would be emailed direct to me rather than via this forum – sorry, my mistake.
By the way, I just tried the links again but they still didn’t seem to work.
Just looked at topics. Whilst I am unsure if I can attend conference due to work commitments, an area of interest that I didn’t see mentioned is something along the lines of “supporting senior citizens to use new technology and social media etc…” I am looking at the possibility of running short courses on this area, targeting retirees & more senior citizens. I am not sure if anything along this line would be presented at the conference.
Thanks & regards,
Jane Deany
I would like to go to 5th June’s special but the distance and travelling cost beyond my affordability, I live in Shepparton. But I would like to thank you for the good news it’s good to know about it even I can’t go. Thank you all of you out there to be the voice for people like me keep up your good work.
Thank you all.
