Welcome to Propel 2010 / Taking professionalism to the next level

This year we invite you to be part of a very special conference.  Propel 2010 will be the biggest educational event of the year.  We are bringing you an exceptional range of seminars, workshops and top quality speakers.  This year will deliver professional development for all delegates at all levels of experience.

Professional Development on steroids
Four concurrent streams which will leave you wishing you could see more.  Plenty of choices giving you options regardless of your level of experience.  Relevant subjects on topical issues.  Workshops put together with realistic scenarios that give you the opportunity to explore issues in depth from all angles.

Each day starts and finishes with power session featuring a key note speaker.  Our gold sponsors, Lumley, NZI and Vero have each picked someone they believe you will want to hear.  IBANZ takes the fourth power hour giving it a regulation focus.

Flexible Registration
Not only will Propel deliver two full days of professional development but it also makes attendance easily available to everyone.  Flexibility has been our focus in putting together the registration options in 2010.  We wanted to ensure everyone who can see benefit in being there is able to do so.

You can choose full registration giving access to all sessions and evening entertainment or you can choose to attend specific days or half days.  If you have a team of people and want to send different members to different sessions you can purchase a ticket which can be shared among them.

Exciting Exhibition
The exhibition will be packed with interesting displays and networking opportunities.  Our aim this year is to make the exhibition hall an interesting and exciting place to be.  The gold sponsors are taking prime spots so they are there for you.  Exhibitors are being encouraged to make their stands interesting and inviting.  We want to create an exciting atmosphere for delegates in which to network.

Great R and R
Of course you will want some relaxing time if you are going to be working hard all day.  Don’t despair, we have thought of that as well.  When the work is done we have some great entertainment.  Every night will bring you something different.

Start with an excellent opening ceremony and network drinks on Wednesday.  Join us for a relaxing, fun night on Thursday in a boat shed, albeit not your usual boat shed.  What else would you expect in Auckland?  Cap it all off with a special final dinner on Friday, Not however the usual gala dinner, Propel in 2010 will finish with something a little formal but not too formal.  Definitely entertaining, a quality night out, something you will want to bring your partner to.  It promises to be a memorable finish to a great conference.

You need it, Propel has it, come and get it!
