The 31^{st<\/sup> No frills conference was held virtually in July. In this article we give you an overview of the conference. We will highlight a few of the conference presentations in later editions of VDC News.<\/p>\n}

The ‘No Frills’ conference theme was ‘VET’s role in transforming the future’ and in a previous edition of VDC News we highlighted the paper<\/a> authored by Bridget Wibrow entitled \u2018VET\u2019s role in transforming the future.\u2019 A paper on the conference theme is routinely published as a prelude and this one was interesting given where VET is presently and where it might go in the future.<\/p>\n

Readers can access the relevant VOCEDplus site<\/a> which summarises all of the available presentations. At this site you will also find the program for the conference<\/a> and access the two keynote addresses: the first by Alex Jackson<\/a>, executive designer at ThinkPlace and the second by Sophie Renton<\/a>, a social researcher and trends analyst at McCrindle.
