UPDATE: Canadians To Participate In 2014 World Indigenous Conferences
From: Indigenous Conference Services (Australia)
It is with outmost pride and pleasure to announce the latest update for both the 2014 World Indigenous Domestic Violence Conference to be held on December 8th – 10th and the 2014 World Indigenous Health Conference scheduled for December 15th – 17th in Cairns, Queensland, Australia. Guest speakers and agenda had been finalized however, we’ve been informed by the Pullman Cairns International Hotel that there’s a high probability that renovations to the venue will be finished and extra break out rooms should become available.
As such, we are presently calling for expression of interest (EOI) for reserve papers which may be utilized if space becomes available. This is a limited time offer only. Expected cap of twelve (12) papers can be accepted. As both conferences are well subscribed, we urge interested parties to visit the conference website and complete the submit-a-paper form online as well as for those interested to review the profile and details of the conference guest speakers, please go to http://www.IndigenousConferences.com/ It is pleasing to see the high calibre of speakers – both national and international delegations which is only surpassed by the interests shown in both events worldwide.
With speakers from around the globe, Australia itself must consider how fortunate for us to have gained the opportunity of having more than 60% First Nations International resource speakers coming to Australia and sharing various community programs and initiatives for the betterment of Indigenous Health and successful project implementation.
With only few months to go, seats are now becoming limited due to these exciting new additions of high calibre guest speakers from throughout the world.
