We extend a warm invitation to all education professionals and policy-makers to come and join us at the Hyatt Hotel in Auckland from April 30 to May 3 for the 2008 NZEALS conference "Enhancing the Heart, Enriching the Mind". The conference positions people and learning at the heart of educational leadership and will be an enriching three and half days of:

• International and national keynote and guest speakers, and panels who will challenge our thinking and practice;

• Over 50 interactive workshops and symposiums facilitated by practitioners and researchers from a wide range of educational contexts, both from New Zealand and overseas;

• Engaging with Maori and Pacific perspectives of learning and leadership;

• Catering for professionals from early childhood, schools, tertiary, consultancies and agencies;

• Critical engagement about leadership and learning and the foresight and courage that is needed to position learning at the centre of communal, cultural and ecological leadership; and,

• Sharing the Auckland experience: a City of Sails, whose heart beats to a Polynesian rhythm, whose people are a diverse mix of South Pacific and Asian cultures and a strong indigenous Maori heritage.

We hope to see you there at the Hyatt Hotel for what will be a truly memorable and interactive international educational leadership conference.
