Our 2006 conference attempts to build on the themes / territory explored in our previous conferences.
We’ve attempted to discern what new roles it might be necessary for us to adopt and have begun a process of strategic planning to help us agree and attain a set of jointly agreed goals and objectives. Underpinning all of this has to be the ability to reflect, think critically and dare to think the unthinkable about the future of our profession.
This year’s conference brings together a number of different speakers and insights, all of whom will be seeking to challenge us to look forwards, and to suggest skills and scenarios we must begin to strategise around.
As in the 2004 Conference, we want as much delegate participation as possible!
