This year at KM & Collaboration Australia, our emphasis is on collaboration – hence the event title! As a result, Ark Group has incorporated several interactive elements into the agenda and event. Innovative inclusions such as cabaret style seating, the Anecdote Circles session, the Reverse Brainstorming Session and the Culture Archetype Cards Activity will facilitate conversations amongst delegates and provide exciting collaborative opportunities!

KM Trivia Hunt
This interactive exercise will provide you with new knowledge and an enjoyable experience and the opportunity to win a multitude of prizes. Throughout the two-day event you will need to research and track down the answers the questions listed on the entry form. This interactive exercise will provide you with new knowledge and an enjoyable experience in tracking down all the answers!

Anecdote Circles
Delegates will share recent collaboration experiences that they’ve encountered within their workplace with fellow practitioners at the event.

They will delve into what has worked, what hasn't worked and possibilities and solutions for the future. This highly interactive activity will provide a structure and
template that will assist delegates in maximising their learnings, relationships and outcomes, and secure valuable take-aways from the event!

Reverse Brainstorming Session
In this session, the concept is simple: rather than brainstorming about something they would like – delegates will instead brainstorm the opposite of what they would like. For example, if a KM practitioner would like their KM project to be a success, they don't ask "How do we ensure our KM project is a success?" but instead "How do we ensure that our KM project is a total miserable failure?"

Participants will be taken through a process of discussing and listing all the things that should be done to ensure that something is NOT successful. They will then prioritise those items and come up with antidotes. Finally, they will have a large group conversation about their possible responses, insights and what they have learnt.

Culture Archetype Cards Activity
During this session participants will use the content developed during the day one Anecdote Circles session together with the Culture Archetype Cards to work in more detail around specific challenges identified around collaboration within their organisations. Delegates will engage in key strategy and planning activities to brainstorm collaboration possibilities and identify training needs within their organisations!

Networking Drinks hosted by Pepper Tree Wines
Participants at KM & Collaboration Australia are invited to networking drinks hosted by Pepper Tree Wines during the afternoon sessions on both days of the conference. The Networking drinks during these sessions are designed to provide delegates with a relaxed and rewarding networking space.
