With a focus on human centred design and the new VCD Study, a range of Industry professionals and experienced teachers discussed how best to accommodate the varied needs of people and our planet, both now and in the future, using human-centred design principles. 
Thank you to everyone who came along to enjoy VisCon24. Hopefully you left inspired and excited about how to implement some of the concepts and ideas covered into your classroom teaching.

From a VCV member who attended Viscon24: 
"I just wanted to say congratulations on another wonderful VCV conference, 
It was great to hear the experience teachers have had in implementing the new study design and some great advice in plotting the pathway ahead in 2025."

VisCon24 - Friday November 22nd at the NGV International - mark it in your diary! More details will be released during Term 3.

Thank you for attending VisCon23. I have received wonderful feedback already from some teachers - which is great to hear!

"You guys did an amazing job organising and presenting this year’s conference – it was well worth attending and provided many inspiring presentations and opportunities to connect again with our colleagues. I believe those who attended will feel more confident heading in to 2024 and teaching from the new curriculum. Thanks again for your hard work and dedication!"

VCV members enjoyed an inspirational day at the NGV International for the annual conference, VisCon 2018.

Among the highlights were the talented speakers, who shared their knowledge and understanding of design in new and exciting ways. Thank you to the presenters; Ilya Fridman (Keynote), Ric Roberts, Eric Peng, James Taylor, Alice Oehr, Natasha Borg, David Morrison, Kathy Hendy-Ekers and Ingrid Wood.

Thank you also to VCV Council for assisting with the preparation and with the drawing activity. The delegates were led in to a variety of spaces within the NGV to engage in a practical drawing and design activity, and experience being a student once again. VCV would like to thank Michele Stockley and Ingrid Wood for working with VCV to create such a great day in a dynamic location.

Finally, the delegates were invited to view the Escher x Nendo exhibition - an inspiring ending to the day.

Visual Communication Victoria conferences are a highlight to the year for those of us on VCV Council and VCV members. We plan the theme, location, speakers, give-aways, activities and catering with excitement and enthusiasm. At the conference, we love to see the networking that happens and the connection that teachers have with each other over the shared love of VCD. 

VisCon will be going ahead in 2023, towards the latter part of the year. More details will be made available in the coming weeks.

Here's what happended n 2019 ... VisCon 2019 @ NGV International

VisCon 2019 branding was designed by VCV member, Alison Cassidy. Alison received free entry to VisCon and a gift voucher to the NGV retail outlet for her winning design. In 2020, VCV will open the VisCon branding competition to design students of VCV members.

A special thank you to Dr Brandon Gien for an inspiring keynote. It is always good to ask a busy (and talented) person to do something...and I appreciate that even though Brandon was flying out of the country the next day, he was able to come to Melbourne and inspire us all.

Thank you to Wayne Thompson for an informative and entertaining presentation about typography and the design of ABC Sans.

Thank you to Theresa Powles and Ewan McEoin from the NGV, for sharing their extensive knowledge and passion of Design.

Thank you to the Council members who presented - Natasha Borg, Janet Irving, Jo Lombardo, Kelly Smith, Ric Roberts, Geoff Baker, De Leggo and David Morrison. And thank you to Council who assisted on the day to ensure that the day ran smoothly - Melissa Avery, Mini Goss, Jeanette Fletcher, Anne Garofalo and Iolanthe Iezzi.

Thank you to Kathy Hendy-Ekers for keeping us up to date with VCAA matters.

Thank you to Svetlana Bodrina, finance manager, who ensures that our finances are in order and that we can continue to run our events in such great places like the NGV.

Thanks to the President of VCV, Geoff Baker, who appears to be calm and collected all day as he introduces, inspires and rewards with the lucky draw!

Finally, thank you to the VCV members, who are always so friendly and positive! We appreciate that everyone is busy, and we are grateful that you continue to support VCV events.
