We're very excited to announce our 2 keynote speakers for this year.
Opening the conference on Friday will be Adjunct Professor Peter Martin who is probably well known to most of you due to his incredible contribution to the Outdoor Education community and his long-standing position on OV's board (now retired). Peter will actually be in Europe at the time of the conference, but is planning a very special keynote delivery which will be a real treat.
The second half of the conference will be kicked off by The Footy Lady herself, Susan Alberti AC, 2017 Melbournian of the Year, philanthropist, former vice president of the Western Bulldogs and a woman with a big inspirational story to tell. Susan is an outstanding community leader who has faced adversity head-on time and time again, by focusing on what she does best.

Serious Fun Workshop
Building Connections Before Content
Anyone can lead a series of fun, outdoor activities.What matters most is how you leave people feeling at the end of your program.
Fun group games & activities are one of the most powerful (and attractive) ways to help people connect, and strong relationships amplify the results of whatever you're trying to get done (no matter your content.)
Come and spend the day with Mark Collard, the maestro of making learning FUN!
