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.

This is a terrific new initiative and I am very pleased to see CPA Australia embracing blogging. As a ‘frequent flyer’ of CPA Congress I will be looking forward to the extra value to come from this great new add-on.

This is fantastic, I am often found wanting in some issues and to be able to exchange ideas with other like minded professionals on a blog is a great way to do things.
I look forward to connecting and exchanging with my fellow members!!!!

Hi Jade,
This blog will continue to be publicly available throughout the life of CPA Congress 2008. We will be also announcing other online services soon. Some will be publicly available others will only be available to CPA Congress delegates.

Does anyone know when the session details will be published for the Vic congress?
Would be good to know what’s happening before the early bird discount expires!!

I’ve found the blog useful already. My question was the same as Susan’s in regard to the timing of the release of the congress schedule.

Will any more details about the concurrent sessions at the South Australian congress be published e.g. who is running them, what they cover? If so, when?

Hi Tyron,
Funnily enough we have just posted about this today. Details of SA Congress will be coming soon!
