Workability International Conference and Disability Expo
15 April 2004
by Tess Casey

This year VASS is hosting the Workability International Conference. It will be held in Christchurch from 11 – 16 October. Information has recently been sent out about the Disability Expo which will be run as part of the conference on 13 – 14 October. This is an excellent opportunity to promote your organisation at a national and international level.




As an international event we are hoping that it will generate good publicity.  You may want to consider applying for funding to help you put together publicity material – remember that once you have this type of material you can use it again. 

Visual impact via photo boards, short videos (no more than 3 minutes), give-aways and a minimum of text are key elements to a good static display. Identify the key message you want to convey and think of a theme that will help you convey it.  Tangible elements are also good ways of attracting people to your display, e.g. if you use a special computer programme with your clients you might want to have this running so that people can use it.  Or, if you are from Southland, you may want to give away free oysters, Ian.
