The Summit will commence with a welcome Reception, on Sunday 12 December, hosted by the e-Agenda Deputy Patron, and Vice-Chancellor and President (Ag), Griffith University, Professor Ian O'Connor.

The program offers participants maximum exposure to the latest in research and forward thinking from the education and corporate sector and will include ample time for networking with the leading thinkers and visionaries in a broad, yet relevant, range of fields, including systems integration, IT infrastructure, learning innovation, organisational change and collaboration. The two day program will also provide participants with an opportunity to contribute individually to the ongoing e-Agenda and to present their own ideas in the Innovations Lounge.

I think one of the great things about this conference is that it brings together the pioneers … and there was just such a great exchange going on, there was controversy, there was debate, there was argument … but there were also solutions.
