What else do you want to tell the ADRhub.com community (what you are up to, what you would like to do in ADR, etc.)
I thought it might be of interest to members that pod casts of 82 sessions of the Australian National Mediation Conference - Adelaide 2010 are now uploaded onto the conference website. http://www.mediationconference.com.au/
Click on past conferences (Adelaide) or pod casts and papers and scroll down to the audio files.
Speakers include Justice Albie Sachs on the Process Architecture of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Constitutional Court of South Africa as well as practising mediators, theorists and academics from Australia and other parts of the world with professional and practice backgrounds in Law, Social Science, Commercial and Corporate, Employment and Industrial Relations, Dispute Systems Design, the Judiciary, Courts and Tribunals, Indigenous Communities and Policy and Human Rights, Peacemaking and International affairs.

These pod cast provide a rich resource for mediators and policymakers and provide an insight into the current development of mediation within Australia
