Forum 19 was the last for the year. (To view the presentations, please see archived events.) The 2010 calendar is being planned with more forums starting in February, workshops and seminars and a Winter Seminar Series with an international presenter. Watch this space for more details.

There are two other events for 2009:

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING + MEMBERS' AND SPONSORS' MEETING (AUCKLAND)
When: Friday, 4 December 2009
Time: 4.30pm: Annual General Meeting
           5.30pm: Members' and Sponsors' Evening
Where: Strata Lounge, University of Auckland

A very successful evening was held earlier this year and we would like to repeat it by giving everyone a chance to have their say, meet new members, discuss business, and network throughout the evening. Mark your diary now!

NEW MEMBERS' EVENT (CHRISTCHURCH)
Members get together on Friday 27 November 2009.
More details to follow.
