SLANSW hosts a number of professional learning events each year at a discounted rate for members. Our regular professional learning program consists of two face-to-face summits per year (usually held in March and September), as well as monthly online meet-up sessions.
SLANSW also offers professional learning opportunities through partnerships with other professional associations, organisations and industry events. Previous partners have included Eduwebinar, Syba Academy, Spark Festival, and Brisbane Summit's Capacity Building School Libraries conference.
Please note SLANSW's Cancellation and Refund Policy for Professional Learning Events when registering for summits and online meet-ups.
Payment for SLANSW events is via credit card. The Association has phased out receiving payments via direct bank transfer. If, however, your school prefers to continue to pay via bank transfer, this will incur a 10% administration fee and the manual processing of a new invoice. Please email info@slansw.net.au to request this.
