The 2017 Future of Communities Conference was another great success, with participants and presenters from all over the world sharing a wealth of knowledge in the field of community building.

This year our keynote speakers included Cormac Russell (Nurture Development), Peter Kenyon (Bank of I.D.E.A.S.), Ron Dwyer-Voss (Pacific Community Solutions), Lucinda Hartley (CoDesign Studio) and Nick Maisey (Befriend) amongst other engaging presenters.  Our Conference Cartoonist, Simon Kneebone was also in attendance and delivered some fabulous pieces. Thanks to all those who presented, contributed and attended.
