See you in Cairns next week!!

In a week's time the 2011 CDAA Conference will be opening in Cairns with an Interactive Forum. In keeping with the conference theme, we open the conference with an interactive panel of contributors from across the career development spectrum led by one of Australia’s leading journalists, Ellen Fanning.

Ellen will take us through a journey of where career development has come from, where it is now and where it is going, with all its inherent issues and potential outcomes. The panel members have been drawn from a wide range of sectors and will no doubt both consider and challenge the propositions put by Ellen to make this a lively, engaging and thought provoking event to set the scene for the conference.

This week is you last chance to register for the conference! And don't forget to get into the spirit of the ‘Going Troppo’ Conference Dinner by dressing in tropical gear.
