George Negus to open centenary conference for IPWEA (NSW)

For the past 25 years George Negus has been at the forefront of Australian political journalism earning considerable recognition as an international correspondent and charming audiences with his wit, humour and incisive style. IPWEA is looking forward to George’s take on the conference theme – Celebrating 100 Years of Achievement – where he will focus on the outstanding achievements from public works engineers over the last 100 years, together with celebrating current achievements and challenges in this competitive environment.

The Panel Forum, facilitated again this year by Richard Morecroft, will discuss what the future holds for the next 100 years, giving delegates a chance to participate in the discussions and explore the depth of what is to come.

The conference social program includes the Monday night awards dinner with the theme: Taking us back to the 1900s. The Tuesday night pool party is being held at the spectacular Ryde Aquatic Leisure Centre and Next Generation Club.

As usual, the networking opportunities at this conference will be exceptional and delegates, together with their families, are able to relax and catch up with their peers. All accompanying persons are heavily subsidised and the IPWEA encourages delegates to bring their partners and children to enjoy the facilities at Sydney Olympic Park, including the pool party which will be open to all families.

For further information, please contact Janice Parker, Conference Manager on (02) 9943 6564, email conference@ipwea.org.au or visit www.ipweanswconference.com.au
