What is the Youth NT Conference about?
Across Australia, youth and youth sector conferences are held on a regular basis and provide an opportunity to raise issues and concerns, network, and highlight examples of best practice.
The inaugural Youth NT Conference aims to coordinate an event that is relevant, Territory focused, engaging, fun and discusses ideas that reflect the key issues facing both young people and the youth sector. This is also a unique opportunity to connect young people with the youth sector to gain valuable insight into program planning, policies, allow for development opportunities and receive feedback.
Over the two-day Conference delegates will have an opportunity to hear from a range of exciting presenters discussing key Territory issues. Please see the Conference Program page for more information.
Not only will delegates get to experience an outstanding program, but they will also get the opportunity to visit the Exhibition Room and see a variety of Stall Holders. Please see the Stall Holder page for more information.
The Youth NT Conference Sponsors Report is now available. Please contact the Office for any further information.
