One of the proposals in the Conservative Green Paper on Voluntary Action is that local groups should be empowered to purchase the services they want from the infrastructure organisation of their choice.

There is space in the programme on Day 1 (from 2.00pm to 4.15pm) for round table discussions on a number of areas of NAVCA project work. Then from 4.30pm to 6.00pm there is Open Space (see tab above!) session for the audience to network and discuss issues and topics they suggest. We are open now for suggestions of what people want to talk about - which can be left on the blog or through the Crowdvine site - http://navcaconf08.crowdvine.com/. Thanks Nick.

Looking at it why not ask yourselves if you're trying to do too much? You're assembling in the audience large numbers of experts. What might the agenda look like if you freed up some space or the 'audience" to decide what they want to talk about? Interesting and positive agenda.
