Sessions will officially commence on the Monday and will lead with some leading International and Australian key notes and a variety of practical presentations. That afternoon delegates will be provided with options of a number of exciting tours to Melbourne main street precincts where participants will see and hear from leading practitioners and witness innovative projects in action. Sponsors are more than welcome to join on these tours allowing additional networking time with delegates.
