Adelaide Convention Centre
16-19 May 2010  

Re-Generation: New Beginnings was the theme for the 2010 national congress and business expo held at the Adelaide Convention Centre from 16 - 19 May 2010.  The congress captured the challenges and opportunities facing local government in the current environment of:

• Major climatic events as a result of climate change
• Challenge to local economices due to the Global Financial Crisis
• Local government's capacity to deal with existing and future challenges.

The 2010 congress incorporated a mix of keynote presentations and concurrent sessions by leading national and international presenters, and leading local government authorities under three themes:

Recovery: From climatic events such as fire, storms or floods, or from the global financial crisis impacting on local industry.

Resilience: Strategies and/or policy developments that demonstrates thinking around climate change, cultural diversity, urban growth, changes in rural industries.

Resources: Issues and solutions around aging (both for the community and the workforce), women in the workplace, skills shortages, succession planning, attracting and retaining the next generation of local government professionals, workforce health, partnerships and exploring different ways of working.
