Worrells 2008 National Conference
This is the 17th year that Worrells is holding its National Conference. This invitation-only event started with ten people getting away for a weekend to discuss changes in insolvency legislation and recent case law. It has grown substantially from that humble beginning to have 100 delegates.
This is our first year in Hobart, and over the course of the three days we will have 8 papers given by industry professionals. We welcome the delegates, particularly those attending for the first time.
Details of this conference are provided below.
