Our last Inclusive Learning Technologies Conference in May 2012 was the biggest conference the Spectronics team has ever hosted. 1200 delegates from the four corners of the globe joined us at Jupiters Gold Coast Convention Centre for four days filled with multiple streams of motivating and inspirational hands-on workshops and presentations. The feedback received after that event, encouraged the whole Spectronics team to go in again. Better again still for the Inclusive Learning Technologies Conference 2014.
