[2008] Welcome to CPA Congress 2008

July 8, 2008

‘The age of mass production is fading fast. The emerging economy is based on knowledge, imagination, curiosity, and talent. What if we could learn to tap the wonderful, rich differences among people?’
Tom Peters, 2008.

Welcome to CPA Congress 2008 and welcome to a new and exciting way in which to connect and exchange with your fellow members, no matter where they are in the world!

At this year’s CPA Congress, we’re launching the first of many ‘Connecting and exchange’ initiatives.

This is part of CPA Australia’s knowledge blueprint, which has a major focus on enhancing the ability of our members to be able to connect and exchange with each other in both traditional and non-traditional environments.

For CPA Congress, this includes extending the experience past the traditional face-to-face sessions by enabling online community and exchange around CPA Congress themes and hot topics.

Along with the CPA Congress blog, here is a snapshot of what you can expect from your online experience at this year’s event:

  • CPA Congress online community
  • virtual Q&A sessions through the online community
  • video, audio and multimedia highlights of CPA Congress presenters and activities
  • the opportunity to attend a conference session in the virtual world of Second Life

Over the coming weeks there will be many opportunities available at CPA Congress to begin to explore the new ways you can connect and exchange with your fellow members.

Take some time to contribute, review and open your minds to the possibilities — the future is in your hands.
