Programme
Early Childhood Council Annual Conference 2010
"Valuing Care"
7 - 9 May
Christchurch Convention Centre
Christchurch
New Zealand
We are really excited about our new conference programme format for 2010. It has been designed to offer our delegates more session choices and to allow our weekend delegates to get the benefit of hearing more of our keynote speakers. We have also included a broader range of plenary sessions so that we can cover a wide range of issues that will be of value to our delegates.
