WHO: Your primary audience is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from across Australia and the Islands, and other Indigenous and Native people who attend from international locations, they may be involved with language work in a variety of capacities. Many delegates work at the grass roots community level whilst others represent local, state, and national bodies.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Innovation will be a strong focus for Puliima as will the role language plays in managing country, the environment and how language underpins all aspects of our culture and identity. We are looking for presentations that create enthusiasm and pride, empower the audience, raise awareness as well as those that provide a practical transfer of skills. 

It is in our delegates best interest to not only hear about what other language communities are doing but to walk away with ideas and practical solutions for their work. Sessions that involve audience interaction are welcome.

• Technology
• Innovation
• Community
• Language and the environment
• Learning and sharing
