This is an insanely useful free opportunity that I would encourage all students, who are able to, to attend.<br>
<br>
Free tickets to the final plenary session at the VALA2018 conference with Deb Verhoven on Thursday 15th February in Melbourne at the Conference Centre .<br>
<br>
It is not only a chance to see and hear a very interesting and useful presentation (she does some very cool things with cultural data like looking at who works with whom (by gender) in the Australian film industry)....but a chance to be in the same venue as
the people who will be hiring you in the future... so getting your face seen and a possible chance to mingle with more senior professionals than you are likely to be in the same room as in any other way...<br>
<br>
I will be there, so would be happy to arrange for a meetup of Curtin and OUA students in our courses during the afternoon tea break before this event if people wanted to do this (or to go out for a meal or brekky if enough people were interested)... just let
me know...<br>
