Conference Highlights

On Tuesday 31st March from 6pm to 8pm a pre-conference function is being
held at the Koori Heritage Trust. Our hosts for this will be the
Victorian Aboriginal Corporation for Languages (VACL). The function will
be catered by Black Olive catering and music performances on the night
will be by Kathrine Clarke and Jayden Lillyst.

VACL will also be launching some very important Language Resources
recently produced by various Victorian Language groups.

This will be a great kickoff to the exciting and agenda packed two days
of the conference.

Our Key Note Presentation for Puliima will be by Aunty Joy Murphy,
Wurundjeri Elder.

Day one will also see the National launch of the "Our Languages"
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander language website.

Presentations over the two days will be consisting of both Plenary and
hands on workshops with access to technology equipment being plentiful.

In the evening of Day One a dinner will held at the William Angliss
Restaurant featuring comedian, Kevin Kropinyeri & music by Robert Bundle
and band.

Day two will see another packed day of exciting presentations.

All of the Exhibitor tables are full so there should be plenty for you
to see and talk about during the breaks.

The Puliima conference only comes around every two years so here is the
last opportunity to be involved and not miss this exciting event.

Regards
