The National Mediation Conference in Adelaide was a great success, with almost 500 participants. The opening address by Dr Albie Sachs displayed so well the combination of theory and practice, setting the scene for the rest of the 3 days. The Adelaide team were very welcoming, as were their volunteers. The program provided a wide range of material, with many learning opportunities. The evaluation survey gave lots of positive reports, and will form a valuable resource in the preparation for Sydney in 2012. Congratulations to the Board under the leadership of Jim Macdonald and Chris Jefferys' Organising Committee on a job well done!
