Mini-Road to Resolution Group Events

April 20, 2021 AACP News

One of the major disappointments for our AACP Conference organisers last year, was the need to postpone the in-person conference we planned to hold in Adelaide in October 2020.  Collaborative practice works best when collaborative professionals know and trust each other and of course we need to meet and network with each other in order to build those connections.

In keeping with the collaborative professional’s talent for creative solutions, a number of practice groups across the country are self-organising mini-conference events to coincide with one or more of the Road to Resolution Conference sessions.

Central Sydney Collaborative Forum, sent us photos of their gathering at the offices of Broun Abrahams Burreket in Sydney for the conference launch followed by Pauline Tesler’s session on Friday, 23 April 2021. Looks like it was the place to be!

We encourage groups of all sizes around Australia to do likewise if they can and encourage you to post  event photos and share your ideas about mini-conference group events that have (and have not) worked for you, to our Conference Facebook page AACP Conference Facebook Page or on LinkedIn.

As an added incentive, we are offering a refund of 10% of delegate registration fees – terms and conditions apply:

1.The 10% group event refund applies to in-person group events of 5 or more registered conference delegates. 

2. To claim the refund, the practice group or state organisation will need to complete a short refund claim form (available upon request from  [email protected]) and send us a photo of the group at the event which is the subject of the refund, which we can upload to our social media accounts. 

3. The refund is paid to the practice group or state organisation and the practice group or state organisation is accountable to its members for the refund paid.

By way of example for refund scenarios:

• Delegate A has registered for all 8 sessions of the conference (at a cost of $400 if a member of AACP/$50 per session and $600/$75 per session if a non-member). If Delegate A attends one of those sessions in a group, they would be entitled to a 10% refund for that session (i.e. 10% of $50 = $5.00 if they are an AACP member and 10% of $75 = $7.50 if they are not an AACP member).   If they attend all 8 sessions in a group, they are entitled to a refund of 10% of the $400 fee = $40.
• Delegate B has registered for 3 individual sessions of the conference (at a cost of $225 if they are an AACP member and $300 if they are not an AACP member) and attends all 3 sessions as part of a group.  Delegated B would be entitled to a 10% refund for those sessions (i.e. $22.50 if they are an AACP member and $30 if they are not an AACP member)
