SPECIAL SESSIONS

Conference Orientation

Wednesday 9am to 10am
Mary Alice Arthur

The conference officially opens on Thursday 16 September, but increasingly the Wednesday Fringe Day has become an incredibly well supported and important part of the conference. We’ve decided to help delegates attending the Fringe Day to learn the ropes and settle in quickly by having a conference orientation and warm-up session. This session will introduce you to the conference and to each other; it will set the scene and help you to break the ice.
