Parks and Leisure Australia Conference, Melbourne, 9 – 12 November 2008

This year’s Parks and Leisure Australia (PLA) conference promises to offer everyone from the policy maker to the on-ground professional, senior manager, practitioner and student, a host of challenges and innovative ideas to discuss and workshop during the conference and to utilize back in the workplace. The conference theme, “Creating a Sense of PLAce” will focus on the role of the parks and leisure industry in Australia and highlight the significance of PLAnning and creating special PLAces for PLAy (being mindful of the challenges we face with climate change), managing and maintaining the PLAce engaging people, promoting the PLAce and confirming its importance to our society. Last year’s conference in Townsville was over subscribed so be sure to register early to avoid disappointment.
