I think we all met some inspiring new people, had some great conversations and hopefully have come away revitalised and even more committed to working together for better, more sustainable decision-making in WA.

Thanks so much to everyone who contributed, especially the presenters and session chairs; the Water Corporation of Western Australia for their sponsorship and support; Kathryn Buselich for being registrar, chief photographer and general helper; Robyn Williams for sharing her wisdom and facilitation experience in the Open Space and final plenary; Monica and her staff at Maria’s for the great food and for being so accommodating and flexible; and all the delegates who attended and shared their views and experiences.

We are in the process of preparing proceedings, which will include the PowerPoint presentations, notes from the Closing Plenary and a photo gallery. And yes, we are planning to do it again next year as part of Sustainable September 2009, so watch this space!
