The 2015 National LETS Conference was held at the Quinola Lakes Conference & Camping Centre near Malanda on May 15-17.
Our theme was Local Abundance – LETS Share. We showcased LETS and its role in relocalisation. Speakers included Annette Loudon, Tim Jenkin, Karel Boele, Tania Brookes, Robin Krabbe, Catie-Lou Manson, Alison Bird, Christine Doan and Bel Moore. We enjoyed background music, supurb local food, workshops, social sessions, forums, optional yoga, walks & swimming, panels and LETS trading.
