We are pleased to announce that Early Bird Registration for the 11th Asia Pacific Conference is now open.

On behalf of the Australian Association for the Education of the Gifted and Talented (AAEGT), we look forward to welcoming you to Sydney, Australia for the 11th Asia Pacific Conference on Giftedness. The theme of our conference is:

"Thinking Smart: Effective Partnerships for Talent Development",

which signals our belief that we all need to work collaboratively to ensure that gifted students are provided with the best possible education.

It is an important time for gifted education internationally and we have secured dynamic gifted educators from across the globe to stimulate and challenge our thinking. It will be a great opportunity to hear new ideas and to renew connections with old friends and colleagues from the Asia-Pacific rim and beyond. Australian educators, too, are keen to share their practices in gifted education with our international colleagues.

The AAEGT is committed to raising the profile of gifted education through the promotion of professional knowledge and skills, policy development and advocacy, research and scholarship, and the dissemination of information. Hosting the Asia Pacific Conference in 2010 is part of that commitment. The Asia Pacific Federation is affiliated with the World Council for Gifted and Talented Children and holds its biennial conference in even years while the World Council holds its biennial conference in odd years. This provides members from the Asia Pacific rim an opportunity every year to gather together, to share ideas, and renew enthusiasm for meeting the needs of gifted children, their families, and their teachers.

We invite you to join us for an engaging and thought-provoking conference in 2010.

Registration for the Think Bank Program and Youth Summit is now open. You can click the Conference link on the main website page to register for the conference or to find out about partnering the conference through valuable sponsorship opportunities.
