Conferences
Interpretation Australia is delighted to invite you to participate in our 18th National Symposium, Peeling back the layers, in Launceston, Tasmania, from 10 – 12 November 2010 with our opening on the evening 9 November.
Held for the first time in Australia’s third oldest city, Launceston, our symposium venue, the Tramsheds, is in the heart of the vibrant and historic Inveresk Rail Yards Precinct.
Staged on the Apple Isle, our theme Peeling back the layers will get ‘right to the core of what matters’ in natural and cultural heritage interpretation — to delve into a range of ‘juicy’ topics that promise to reveal exciting and fresh new insights for professionals and new comers alike!
Peeling back the layers offers a dynamic and varied program. Presentations, workshops, field trips and events at top natural and cultural interpretive sites will truly indulge our senses and creative spirit. Expect to be challenged and inspired! Distinguished keynote speakers from Australia and overseas will present daily.
