DevNet 2008: Peripheral Vision
3-5 December, 2008 | Victoria University | Wellington
Background
The fifth conference, ‘Peripheral Vision’, captured different ways of thinking about and practicing development. It discussed development of and from the ‘periphery’ – whether defined as the antipodes (Aotearoa and the South Pacific region), or those people who are often excluded from mainstream development. With over 200 attendees, the wide variety of participants and keynote speakers make it both a very enjoyable and inspiring experience.
