Hi Folks!

I have been asked to circulate this free event on AGILE to teachers and students. It is open to all secondary and tertiary students and teachers/lecturers and is being run at the Melbourne Convention Centre on June 18. I've been advised that they are able to accommodate up to 1000 participants. If you or your students are interested, please register https://www.slatteryit.com.au/RegoPages/Activate2014RSVP.aspx I have attached a flyer for further information.

Cheers
Therese
