A range of speakers is lined up for Saturday 20th March 2010 at the Albany Campus of Massey University, Auckland.   The event is titled: Future Directions in Gifted Education: Informing the Professionals- and promises to be an action packed day that will attract growing numbers of non professionals also.   Featured speakers include The Hon.
