Hi Mike,

It's good to hear of your interest in recording the conference. I don’t know whether Laurence has made any arrangements re recording so you’re best to discuss that with him. As I said, he’ll be on the road until sometime next week, therefore best to try his mobile: 027 25 888 07.

We’ve also received enquiries re video conferencing which I understand presents something of a challenge. Do you have skills in that area, or know of others who do? We’re waiting to hear from Laurence as to whether to pursue the idea, or not.

The conf begins late Fridy afternoon and ends with the Sunday lunch. Full details available on the registration brochure - visit http://www.le.org.nz/tiki-index.php

Hi Mike,
I'll reply to your question re taping the conference, as Laurence is away from the office and will be on the move until 7th March. At this stage I don't think he plans to tape the conference. However, the intention is, post conference, to create hard copy & DVD reflecting the shared wisdom so that participants have the necessary information to implement currency systems in their respective locales.
How about finding someone from your community able to attend the conference that would be willing to share what he/she has learnt and work with you to put theory into practice?
Regardless, I’d encourage you to access books etc on the money system & complementary currencies.
See some of these, including Tom Greco’s ‘Money’ and Deirdre Kent’s Healthy Money, Healthy Planet are listed at special prices at http://le.org.nz/tiki-index.php?page=Resources
