The English Australia Conference continues to re-invent itself in response to its contexts of operation, aiming to deliver a stimulating program in 2012 that will support and engage the sector. We continue to make improvements that will deliver better networking opportunities and position the event as the “must attend” event for the English language sector of the international education industry.
The English Australia Conference 2012 has a theme of “Re-shaping our Future”. This theme acknowledges the challenges of recent years and the need for the industry to be proactive in engaging with developments, both in Australia and overseas, and positioning itself to take advantage of opportunities for growth.
We have made a number of changes for 2012, including:
- consolidating the program into two days – Thursday and Friday;
- introducing a pre-conference “ELICOS Leaders Day” on Wednesday to attract senior leaders from the industry;
- offering an extended Welcome Event on Wednesday evening to allow for networking prior to the commencement of the Conference;
- integrating new software that will provide an agenda builder, networking solution and social community for the Conference – delegates will benefit from a unique tool to optimise their conference participation through improved networking facilitation.
The Conference program targets the professional and career development needs of all staff working within the ELICOS sector, regardless of the nature of their work within the industry. Member and industry support for the conference in recent years has been overwhelming, with evaluations expressing very high levels of satisfaction. For many working in and alongside ELICOS, the English Australia Conference is viewed as a ‘must-attend’ event for key staff.
The English Australia Conference provides an important annual forum for those working in the ELICOS sector to exchange views, to keep themselves updated on domestic and international developments, to develop skills across a broad spectrum of areas, to gain greater awareness and understanding of career pathway opportunities within and related to the sector, and to network with a range of delegates from within and outside the sector.
This national ELICOS industry event is also therefore of relevance to anyone providing services related to the delivery of English language programs to international learners. The English Australia Conference 2012 provides numerous opportunities for suppliers to network and do business with teachers, academic and business managers, marketing staff, student services staff, registration staff, teacher trainers, administrators, government stakeholders, and promotional bodies.
I urge you to join us for English Australia Conference 2012, the flagship event for the ELICOS sector in Australia.
