About the Conference
It’s been a difficult time for charities and NFPs, and the challenges for the sector continue to grow. PBI regulations are changing, fundraising remains a regulatory nightmare, and privacy standards are tightening. TEN The Education Network’s 12th Annual Charities and Not For Profits Conference explores these issues, along with sessions covering board structure, best practice guidance on managing mental health, as well as navigating mergers, acquisitions and conversions.
This year’s conference also includes a not-to-be-missed session examining the key employment law reforms recently introduced by the Federal Government and how they will impact the sector.
We’ve made changes!
With the economy tightening we are keenly aware of the need to balance the cost of attending conferences and still provide the quality continuing professional development you are used to receiving from TEN.
- This year’s conference will have an earlier finish on Day 2 so that those of you travelling from interstate have more options for catching flights home alleviating the need for an extra nights accommodation.
- To more easily fit with this new format we have reduced the sessions from 12 to 10, but provided 10 longer sessions.
- All delegates will receive access to the online recordings of each session – so you won’t need to worry about missing any sessions.
- And – most importantly – we have reduced the registration fee.
