Invitation to Attend

Hobart, the scenic capital of Tasmania is the beautiful location for the 2011 National Congress.

The Congress will be a memorable event with an extensive program of speakers exploring the role of planning in confronting the many challenges in the contemporary world. 

The 2011 Congress will seek to look outside the profession and present a lively and informative expose of the way planners engage with the world and how the world perceives planning. The title ‘Critical Mass’ symbolises some serious soul searching for the profession as well as the need to create effective partnerships to make the changes needed.

The outcome will be new insights and perspectives on the various roles that the myriad of professionals, the community and the media think about planning and planners, thereby assisting us to adapt and reinvent the way we engage in tackling the diverse problems we face as a profession and as a broad community.

During the Conference experience Hobart’s many renowned attractions and take some time to discover an island rich in world heritage wilderness and full of adventure and culture.
