Information collected in respect of proposed participation in any aspect of ConnectED2010 and pre conference workshops will be only used for the purposes of planning future ConnectED conferences and may also be provided to the organising body or to organisers of future events. It is also usual to produce a ‘Delegate List' of attendees at the conference and to include the individual's details in such a list. The Privacy Act 2001 provides that, before your name, organisation and state/country details can be published in the list of the conference delegates for distribution to fellow delegates or any other party, you must give your consent. If you DO NOT wish to have your name and details included in the Delegate List please indicate this on the registration form.
