On behalf of CHOICE, Australia`s leading consumer organisation, it is my privilege to invite you to the 2010 National Consumer Congress, to be held in Sydney on the 15-16 March 2010.


CHOICE exists to unlock the power of consumers. We aim to help Australians be the most savvy and active consumers in the world.


As part of our 50th anniversary year CHOICE is taking the lead in presenting the National Consumer Congress. Consistent with our mission, the Congress theme will be ‘Consumer Action’. We plan to use creative ways to bring Congress delegates closer to the consumers that they serve or work with.


The 2010 Congress will respond to the needs of delegates from government policy and regulatory agencies, consumer organisations, consumer businesses academia and elsewhere. We are planning an interactive and outcome orientated Congress. On the second day, high quality facilitators will work with expert presenters and Congress delegates as part of a ‘Consumer Summit’ which aims to advance the consumer agenda in key areas.


In addition the Congress will feature two special events:

• The Ruby Hutchison Memorial Address on the first night of the Congress.
• The inaugural CHOICE Awards will celebrate the best from the consumer market place in conjunction with the Congress Dinner.
