“Reading the Signs”
Observe beyond what you see
10 – 12 September, 2010
Vaughan Park Retreat, Long Bay, Auckland
Cost: $220 (includes meals)

This year’s conference is set to be a winner. The fantastic line-up of speakers outlined below have been confirmed. We are asking participants to bring with them an “outrageous accessory”. This is for the “I can’t believe your wore that to conference” walk off to start our theatre sports on the Saturday night.

The tranquil conference retreat is positioned at the south end of Long Bay, the most northern of Auckland’s North Shore beaches. It overlooks the bay and Regional Park. You can take a number of walks to enjoy the panoramic views or take a quiet meditative stroll in the park. Come along, learn, recharge, and enjoy the superb company and great catering at this wonderful venue.
