The first ever Puliima National Indigenous Languages and Information Communication Technology Forum has come and gone and by the feedback that we have received it has been a huge success, on this page we will put together a summary of the event and our comments.

Firstly, we would like to thank all of the 81 delegates and speakers who first put their trust in this event and then came along and contributed in many ways to making this event such a success for Arwarbukarl CRA to have hosted. Delegates came from all around the country to the Awabakal Nation, and converged on the CBD area of Newcastle for the forum which was held at the Newcastle Regional Museum.

Secondly, the forum would definately not have gone ahead if it wasnt for the magnificent support provided to us by our sponsors and supporters, namely Microsoft Australia, Telstra Country Wide, Newcastle Regional Museum, WorkVentures, Indigenous Creative Enterprise Centre and lastly our funding body the Department of Communications, Information Technology and the Arts.

A full wrap up of the Forum can be found on our main website
