COMMUNITY INFORMATION VICTORIA AND THE AUSTRALIAN COMMUNITY NETWORKING ALLIANCE INVITE YOU TO -

ENGAGING REGIONALISM: AUSTRALIA'S PREMIER COMMUNITY NETWORKING CONFERENCE

Ballarat University, Victoria, Australia, 29 September - 1 October, 1999.

http://communityconference.vicnet.net.au

This is the 4th community networking/networking communities conference in Australia, and it is a must for anyone who is interested in enriching communities through accessible electronic networking.

Electronic communications are having a profound impact on how we work, buy, play, or just communicate with each other. The development and potential for online services is as important in regional and remote communities as it is for people who live in cities.

That is why this conference is being held in Ballarat, one of Australia's most important regional centres for information technology. Anyone who works in health, justice, and community services, adult education, or business and government operations that interact with them will find something of interest in the many papers from around Australia, city and country, being presented at this conference, the only one of its kind in Australia. We will also feature a number of talks from New Zealand and elsewhere. There will be 5 keynotes from networking leaders from Australia, the US, and the UK, and plenty of opportunity to meet other people and browse industry displays.

Full details of the conference (including electronic registration & updates), can be found at http://communityconference.vicnet.net.au.
