#Whispercon 2017 – La Trobe University City Campus

Held from 2015-2018, the Whisper Workshops (#Whispercon) brought together a small group of colleagues interested in aspects of researcher education and development / academic development. Through this event, we built our networks in aligned directions and brought people together to share their expertise, practices, and processes. Basically, how – and why – do they do the things they do? 

The Workshops were hosted at various institutions and had a different set of guests and theme each time. 

  1. #Whispercon 2020 (theme of ‘wellbeing’; cancelled due to COVID19 – it morphed into the inaugural #Whisperfest!)

  3. #Whispercon 2017 (Hosted by La Trobe University; theme of ‘building communities’)
