Program

Conference theme

The conference theme, Editing in Context, focused on editing as a profession and explored issues such as the perception of editors, our workplaces, how we promote ourselves, keeping up-to-date, standards, mentoring, networking, financial and legal issues, and our health and wellbeing.

The three sub-themes addressed were:

• Transition (changing workplaces, conditions, technology, industry norms)
• Consolidation (training, business aspects, skills acquisitions, standards)
• Collaboration (partnerships, mentoring, networking).

Conference program

The three-day program provided an exciting mix of keynote plenaries to kickstart the big ideas, concurrent presentations addressing our professional issues, workshops, field trips, a trade fair and even relaxation sessions!

We will launched the 35th anniversary anthology of articles from the Newsletter of the Victorian Society of Editors, At the Typeface.

A detailed conference program with links to abstracts for each theme (Transition, Consolidation, Collaboration) is available on this website.
