Acorn Connects is back on **Thursday, 26 November** at **The Marion** in Canberra!

Agenda to follow, but expect:

- Insight from peers using Acorn every day
- Best practice guidance on how to get the most value out of Acorn
- Hands-on sessions with takeaways you can use straight away

Register now to get the agenda as soon as it's ready.

This is a free event with a catered lunch. There's no cap on the number of attendees per organisation, though each attendee should RSVP.

The opportunity to network with other learning and development leaders, hearing from expert speakers, direct collaboration with the Acorn team.

Great to see what has been updated, where the company is heading, and what \[they\] are trying to achieve as this flows onto as as an end product user.

All really good and provided excellent context to L&D at the current stage.

Acorn Connects is a swag-free event. For every 1,000 attendees, over 550kg of single-use swag (the same weight as 141,750 acorns, or 284 laptops, or 126 cats) is wasted. 

We're committed to reducing environmental waste and, let's be honest, another tote bag or pair of branded socks isn't the kind of event takeaway that makes a real business impact.
