2019 apen cONFERENCE

Studies reveal that there are five main reasons why people attend conferences: to learn; to be inspired; to meet like-minded people and network; to attract business; and of course the location.

The APEN Conference, held biennially, is an international meeting for rural and community advisory practitioners, researchers, and academics who combine the best extension research and practice from developing and developed countries. Don't miss this unique opportunity to share knowledge, learn new skills and improve extension.

In September 2019, Darwin will play host to our conference for the very first time. Opening a pathway for South-East Asia practitioners, researchers, and academics to network and liaise with Australian and New Zealand extension professionals. An unmissable opportunity in an unforgettable destination.

The conference will focus on Extending Horizons: Extension's role in climate, rural industry, and community challenges.

There will be two optional pre-conference workshops on 11th September 10am-4pm: Fearless Facilitation and Great Group Dynamics and Communication Skills for All Professionals. You can register for these workshops without attending the conference. Details of the workshops can be viewed here.
