Canberra 2020 summit

The ACT Government has announced a Canberra 2020 Summit, on 5 April 2008, before the Australia 2020 Summit on 19 and 20 April 2008. I took part in the previous ACT Government 2020 study in 1993.
The Government is calling for registrations from Canberrans keen to participate in the Canberra 2020 Summit, one of a number of local summits being organised in the lead-up to the national summit to be convened by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd on April 19 and 20.

Registrations for Canberra’s own 2020 summit, to be held in the ballroom of the National Convention Centre on Saturday April 5, open today and close on Friday March 21.

The event is being jointly convened by the ACT Government and Canberra’s three Labor federal parliamentarians, the Member for Canberra, Annette Ellis, the Member for Fraser, Bob McMullan, and ACT Senator Kate Lundy.

The Canberra 2020 summit will have the theme of innovation.

Chief Minister Jon Stanhope said today up to 300 people were expected to share their inspiration and generate ideas that could be pursued not just in Canberra, but nationally. ...
