The breakfasts have always been popular and give an opportunity for men and women to meet and share their experiences – speakers not yet confirmed, but they will be interesting and relevant!
Youth activities will be organised throughout the Conference and the program will have sessions of interest to young people integrated throughout the program over the Friday and Saturday. Additional social activities for young people will be organised and we will advise youth who have registered once the final program is confirmed.
A Remembrance Service is a very special time during our Conference to remember friends and family, and the people we have cared for in our community, who have died. The service is non-religious and everyone is welcome. It will be held on Friday 2 October before the Conference Dinner.
Join us for a relaxing and casual night with other delegates for the dinner on Friday 2 October 2015.
