hope you all had a productive and inspirational time! It was great to
talk to many of you (and in some cases – put faces to the names and
emails!)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>It takes a great deal of work putting together a conference
of this size and quality. We set out to source the best keynote speakers
that we could – and having someone like Prof. Stephen Heppell – a key
international educationalist, was something that we were quite proud of.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

web-site very shortly (I notice that material is beginning to be uploaded as I ‘speak’

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

VITTA office: Lisa Chadderton, Caroline Bailey and Judy Thompson. Thank-you
also to Peter Lieverdink, Gavin Ballard and the technical team, and all the
VITTA helpers. Special mention needs to go to both Donna Benjamin
(Conference Coordinator) and Renee Hoareau (Executive Officer). <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

might be better) and I will take your suggestions to the conference committee. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
