The organisers of the International Millinery Forum to be held in Wagga Wagga from 17 to 22 January 2009 released an update of when information will be released. Registrations are set to open in six weeks time so mid-late July on their website http://internationalmillineryforum.com.au (please not this site is still under construction).

The email I received today stated I am pleased to announce that the Planning for the 2009 International Millinery Forum, which is scheduled for 17-22 January, is close to complete and registrations will open mid July 2008.

Here is a copy of the email:

‘I am pleased to announce that the Planning for the 2009 International Millinery Forum, which is scheduled for 17-22 January, is close to complete and registrations will open mid July 2008.

At present the postcard is being printed and will be sent to you via post in the coming weeks. Following this we will be working on the brochure and website, both of which will be launched in mid July to coincide with the opening of registrations.

The event will move from Charles Sturt University into the City of Wagga Wagga, with the Trade Expo and seminars to be held at the newly renovated Wagga RSL Club and the workshops to be held in central Wagga at Wagga High School. There is immense accommodation options for delegates to choose from in Wagga; I am currently in the process of negotiating discounted rates for IMF delegates and will provide this information in the brochure and on the website.

The line up of tutors is extraordinary, but you will have to wait for the brochure to find out more…..very exciting!

If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact me.

I look forward to seeing you at the 2009 International Millinery Forum.

Kind Regards
