For those concerned about potential visa problems:

The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs has an International Event Coordinator Network Service which facilitates visa application processing of international travelers invited or registered to speak at, perform in, compete in, or attend an event in Australia. The appropriate forms have been filed for this event to allow visas to be approved.

If you have any visa concerns, please contact Annie Nolan: annieq(at)hotmail.com

We look forward to seeing you all soon!

To all of you who have been considering attending this fantastic event but have not registered… we have good news! As of today (November 25th), there are still 10 spaces available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Claim them while they last!

Sign up soon. Seats are going fast!

The agenda is taking shape and is divided into:

1. Visits - meeting people along the journey for interactive sessions & presentations (input still welcome). These will attempt to balance content across a number of core themes to ensure there is something for everyone, including for instance energy and climate change, community, policy, environment, business responses and of course, fun & general interest!
2. Workshops - working amongst our group based around the theme of ’scaling up the impact of strategic sustainable development’
3. Reflection - time to chill, think, discuss and generally hang out with people or otherwise contemplate alone. A key part of an intensive experience that is as important as any other!
4. Travel Time - in our biodiesel bus, moving between places! This offers opportunity for fun and presentations from the group. Importantly, there will never be a single day with more than four hours of total travel time (generally not more than 2).
5. Global Connections - using web platforms we will connect with thought leaders and others in our network who are convening regional events in American and European timezones.
