It was great to see so many of you at the 2008 International Education Conference “Connecting the Dots” at the Langham Hotel in Auckland. The industry was well represented with around 400 delegates attending from all sectors.

This year was the first to feature a special afternoon for Primary and Intermediate Schools, and the response was very promising. If interest is high enough, the half-day programme may be expanded to a full day for the 2009 Conference.

This year we also Launched the new Research / Resources Community Forum. You can register for access to the Community Forum HERE

Four awards were handed out at the annual Awards Dinner. This year’s winners included Macleans College, University of Otago, National Trade Academy and Victoria University.

For more details about the award winners, you can read the press release HERE.

Looking forward, we will be holding next year’s conference in Wellington. The dates are not yet confirmed, but we look forward to more great networking and information in a year’s time.
