Virtual Participation
For those not able to travel to the conference, we are providing a range of flexible ways to connect to the AAEE conference virtually.
This conference offers you a number of options to participate at a distance in this event which will draw many environmental educators together in the tropical savanna of Northern Australia for four days. We have allocated time and space for communication to happen between on and off-site participants on 9, 10 and 11 July and hope that members of AAEE and associated groups will access this option. We hope these models will help develop future practices that lower AAEE conference eco-footprints.
Participants do not need to register if they are not presenting.
