VALA2014 Provisional Conference Programme

Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday

The VALA2014 L-PLATE SERIES

On Monday 3rd February 2014, VALA will present the VALA2014 L-Plate Series. This series of introductory sessions focuses on the technologies that will be discussed during the VALA conference. Brush up your knowledge and enhance your VALA2014 Conference experience by attending the VALA2014 L-Plate Series on Monday afternoon. This series is free to all registered VALA2014 Conference delegates. The 2012 VALA L-Plate Series proved to be very popular, so book early as spaces are limited. L-Plate Series registration includes afternoon tea.

RMIT Publishing / VALAtech BOOT CAMP

If the VALA L-Plate Series is a fun way to brush up on your knowledge, the RMIT Publishing/VALAtech Boot Camp is a series of day and half-day high-end technical and practical sessions. Book into these interactive sessions (no passive participation here) and expand your knowledge of some of the key and emerging technologies used today. As a high-end practical stream, a core level of technical knowledge is required. Participants are also asked to bring their notebooks / netbooks. The RMIT Publishing/VALAtech Boot Camp is free to delegates and spaces are strictly limited. The RMIT Publishing/VALAtech Boot Camp runs from Monday 3 – Thursday 6 February 2014.
