The major theme of this year's conference is:
Building Relationships - It's the People that Matter - It's the People that make it work.
Sub themes include:

  • making native title work for everyone
  • finding equitable solutions
  • the grounding for positive native title outcomes
  • the way to move forward
  • finding common ground: resolutions to native title issues

A new and refreshing program will be introduced this year, to respond to participant input from previous years.

Wednesday June 2 will be dedicated to NTRB delegates only. This day will consist of workshops conducted by NTRB staff for NTRB staff and or executive. These workshops are knowledge based, and will cater for the various levels/skills/and areas of interest of and for practitioners. Key to the success of these workshops is opening a dialogue and sharing knowledge between NTRB staff and executive.

A Welcome to Country Ceremony will be held in the evening.

Thursday 3rd June which falls on Mabo Day, will be open to the general public. On this day, keynote lectures and papers will be presented by native title holders and claimants, practitioners, NTRB staff, researchers, academics, political leaders and others.

Running concurrent with these sessions will be a Youth Forum. The Youth Forum at last year's conference in Alice Springs was seen as a huge success, and we are delighted to be holding this important forum again in Adelaide. The Youth Forum is open to 16-25 year old Indigenous people.

Friday 4th June the day will be composed of two parallel strands: the general program will continue with papers and workshops, and a distinct Indigenous stream of sessions and workshops will also be held. The Indigenous Forum is of course open only to Indigenous peoples.
