Grants are the lifeblood of most community organisations - don't let your group be let down by poorly framed applications, or lack of knowledge or connections.

Why you must attend:

Hear from and interact with Australia's best thinkers, leaders and doers
Learn what's next - make sure your community and community group is prepared for what's around the corner
Get refreshed - participants rate this the best opportunity they get all year to recharge their batteries
Get inspired - meet people who believe in the power of community, swap war stories, share solutions
Get access - this is the least expensive conference of its type around. No other conference offers you access to this calibre of speakers and professional development for such a low cost.
