2008 International Nonprofit and Social Marketing Conference

Welcome to the 2008 International Non-Profit and Social Marketing Student Pre-Conference!

The Student Pre-Conference will be facilitated as a Workshop and designed to be both informative and interactive. It is a chance for students who are interested in further research (particularly in social marketing) to meet, learn from and be inspired by highly regarded international experts in the field who are keen to share their passion and knowledge! Student delegates will also have the opportunity to participate in sessions to improve their practical skills regarding writing research proposals, research tenders, job applications as well as learn about the how, why and when of publishing their work.

The ‘open forum approach’ in the Expert Panel discussion at the end of the day is an opportunity for students to direct discussion, invite feedback and ask questions specific to them.

If you have any questions regarding the program or want to discuss the benefits of attending specific to your area of interest or future study direction, please do not hesitate to contact Mr Parri Gregory on (02) 4221 5212 or email: parri@uow.edu.au
