<p class="MsoNormal">Dear colleagues<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While we’ve made the adjustment to VITTA’s annual conference being in August, a new opportunity exists to broaden and deepen our knowledge of IT by the offering of a one-day conference in the ‘old’ time slot of late November. I would urge
you to register for this day as it brings together senior schooling, tertiary studies and industry practices – an invigorating combination, as we manage the present and look to the future.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m delighted to be involved in this day and very much look forward to sharing with, and learning from you, and the tertiary and industry experts. Visit
