Annual conference coming up

Registrations are now open for the ECC Annual Conference 2009. A wonderful conference is planned, with national and international keynote speakers, special events, a huge trade fair and a fantastic range of workshops.

The keynote speakers include Dr Stephen Rollin, Dr Glenda MacNaughton, Joy Lubawy, Sue Thorne and Dr Lester Levy.

Workshops cover an exciting range of topics covering many important aspects of ECE for teachers, managers, committee members and anyone else involved in the sector.

Many of the keynotes will also be presenting workshops; this is a great opportunity to hear these presenters in a smaller setting, often with the chance to ask questions.

As always, the Gala Dinner will be a spectacular affair.This year’s theme is “Come dressed as what you wanted to be when you grew up”.

The 2009 conference is being held over Queen’s Birthday weekend – why not take the opportunity to spend the Monday with staff and make it a fun team-building day (tax deductible of course!).

Or take your family – there’s plenty for them to do during the day when you are at the conference, and lots of lovely restaurants and things to do in the evenings together.
This will be a busy weekend in Rotorua, so make sure you book your flights and accommodation early.

The 2008 conference sold out six weeks before the event, so don’t miss out!
