BEAQ 2014 Conference Program Page 2 Register now at www.beaq.org.au/2014-conference Welcome from the BEAQ President

It is my pleasure to welcome you to BEAQ’s annual Conference at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre. The world of education is ever-changing, so how do we keep pace? This year’s theme, Change. Create. Innovate! encourages us to reflect on what we do well and to find creative and new ways for tomorrow. Innovation in education and teaching is necessary to respond to the ever changing world we live in and our students’ needs, helping to open their minds and build their self confidence. The learning environments we provide for our students can help make learning more exciting, challenging and rewarding. Reflecting the Conference theme, rooms will be presented in a variety of set ups; there is even a bean bag room! This year’s Friday program focuses exclusively on industry visits including new organisations: ABC Studios, Australia Zoo, Eastern Food Alliance, O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat, Publicis Mojo (advertising agency) and the Woodford Folk Festival. We are pleased to welcome coffee entrepreneur Phillip Di Bella on Saturday as our keynote speaker who has successfully grown his small coffee-roasting operation in the suburbs of Brisbane, to an internationally recognised coffee brand. Our Saturday program will be further enhanced by our Plenary speaker, Bill Hauritz, Director of the Woodford Folk Festival. Bill will speak on The Anatomy of Festivals. Special guest speaker Mick Gooda, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner, Australian Human Rights Commission, will join a wide range of breakout sessions across seven different curriculum streams. Delegates will have time to network with colleagues and visit the trade exhibitions for the latest resources. Join us for this outstanding event.

Saturday 2 August 2014 Keynote Address Phillip Di Bella Owner and Managing Director, Di Bella Coffee Phillip Di Bella began Di Bella Coffee in 2002 with $5000 in his pocket. Phillip quickly caught the attention of local cafes with his enthusiasm and passion for both his product and customer service. While steadily building up Di Bella Coffee’s wholesale customer base, Phillip sold his house and established a commercial premise in Bowen Hills from which to run the operation. Within 4 years the company had made BRW’s Top 100 Fastest Growing list, with Phillip named among the top 100 young rich. Phillip’s entrepreneurship and business success has led him to win coveted awards such as AIM’s Young Manager of the Year, Ernst & Young’s Young Entrepreneur of the Year and Brisbane Business News’ Young Entrepreneur Award.

Plenary Session Bill Hauritz AM Director, Woodford Folk Festival In 1985, Bill with some muso friends reconstituted the Queensland Folk Federation and adopted the notion of establishing a festival of international standing as its primary goal. In 1987, The Maleny Folk Festival commenced with an audience of 900 people. 28 festivals later and a move to its own land in 1994, The Woodford Folk Festival has grown into the largest gathering of artists and presenters in Australia. It has become influential and highly regarded with an aggregate attendance exceeding 120,000. Bill has been at the helm since the beginning. His optimism has been described as “pathological”.
