74th National Conference
Delegate questions on notice
For the first time in the event's history, the 74th Murray Darling Association National Conference, held in Leeton in August 2018, utilised the app Sli.do, which enabled delegates to pose questions and comments to presenters as they spoke.
Delegates who used the app posed close to 200 questions and commnets to the 20 presenters during the two-day conference, witha record of all interactions retained.
With all presentations closely linked to the conference theme of Trust.Unity.Equity.GROWTH and many questions overlapping, all presentrers have been given the opportunity to consider responses to all questions and comments posed at the conference.
The comments and questions which appear below are verbatim.
A record of poll results from the conference are also available to download.
