Thank you from our Convenors

AASE NSW would like to thank everyone who attended the 2022 National Conference, Building Bridges: Research to Practice, Practice to Progress! The goal of our Conference was to help educators implement educational strategies. 

To adapt to the changing landscape for the delivery of professional development for members, the AASE 2022 Conference was delivered in a hybrid format - in-person at the International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC) and online using the OnAIR virtual conferencing platform. We were excited to be returning to Sydney, to the ICC situated in the beautiful Darling Harbour, on the lands of the Gadigal peoples of the Eora Nation. This landmark harbourside venue offers easy access to the iconic Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House. 

The ICC is the ultimate venue, with very generous face-to-face and state-of-the-art virtual conference facilities, comfortable eating spaces, plenty of parking and easy access to public transport. 

The Conference was held at the ICC and online from Sunday, 11th to Monday, 12th September 2022. The Full Conference comprised of two days of Conference presentations and Networking Drinks on Sunday, 11th September. 

Our Conference theme was "Building bridges: research to practice, practice to progress". The simple metaphor of "bridges" reflects the ongoing connection between evidence, practice and progress. Utilising a diverse range of presentation medium, the Conference themes will engage participants in the exploration of practical solutions based on real issues, from a variety of specialised fields. As always, the Conference provided opportunities for educators, families, community members and key stakeholders to come together to collaborate, share knowledge and learn together. 

We look forward to welcoming you to the 2023 Conference in Adelaide!
