Chair: Leigh Mullin

The conference will start at 7:30pm, you can dial in a few minutes before.  The groundrules for the night are:

- People to mute themselves when not asking questions
- Ask questions throughout a presentation, but try not to interupt mid-flow
- When asking a question first state your name clearly
- If it gets unruly or lots of feedback the chair will mute all

It's a full agenda so we may not get through all the presentations.


PLEASE NOTE: THIS EVENT WILL BE RECORDED AND PUBLISHED FOR PLAYBACK
