We would like to invite you to be a part of The OSCAR Foundation National Conference 2008 to be held at the Waipuna Hotel & Conference Centre in Auckland from Friday 17 October to Sunday 19 October 2008.

The OSCAR Foundation National Conference will provide you with an opportunity to:
participate in training, skill enhancement, professional development and personal growth,
develop networking contacts, establish and/or rekindle friendships and connections with other OSCAR related people,
exchange ideas, best practices, and expertise on OSCAR related topics,
be exposed to a range of perspectives on topical OSCAR issues,
enjoy the OSCAR Trade Show full of resources and tools valuable to OSCAR providers,
celebrate the outstanding achievements of the OSCAR Award recipients at The OSCAR Foundation Awards Evening,
be an important part of the growing OSCAR community nationwide, and
have a fantasic weekend focused on OSCAR.


The theme for The OSCAR Foundation National Conference 2008 is The Big OSCAR Experience (The Big OE) Te OSCAR Wheako Nui. OSCAR experiences create memories and enrich childhoods. OSCAR provides these wonderful experiences, not only for the children of New Zealand, but also for their families, as well as organisations, programmes and staff involved in OSCAR. The full OSCAR experience encapsulates a wide range of knowledge, skills, resources, activities, connections, challenges, growth, friendships and familiarities for everyone involved with OSCAR. We have tried to capture this by offering an extensive selection of workshop topics and quality speakers for you to enjoy. We want you to share The Big OSCAR Experience with us, and take your experience back with you to share with your extended OSCAR community.


The conference runs over Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and offers a range of activities and workshops.
