The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia (NFSA) is inviting supporters and industry stakeholders to participate in a series of upcoming workshops, focusing on specific aspects of the NFSA's activities and programs.
The workshops will take place around Australia from October to December. Key NFSA staff will be part of these sessions.
This is the second stage of the NFSA’s public consultation process, following the series of presentations in July, where CEO Michael Loebenstein introduced the organisation’s Draft Strategic Plan 2014-17.
Based on the feedback received during the presentations, as well as online, specific themes have been allocated to the upcoming workshops, addressing select topics raised in each city.
Those interested in attending one or more of these workshops should RSVP to rsvp@nfsa.gov.au. Please provide name, contact details, and session you are attending.
