Professor Daniel Aldrich joins EMPA Australia in 2024 via video-link to co-present a half-day masterclass along with Renae Hanvin, Resilient Ready and Jo Garnett, SAFECOM at QT Canberra on Day 3 of this year’s conference. The masterclass is titled Social Capital and Social Infrastructure in Action: How libraries and pubs can help us better connect and communicate. Attendance is included with all Full two-day conference registrations.
