Hi livas1

Sorry, I don't know if Steve made a submission, perhaps that question was asked by TT. However I am aware that when the Conference was announced Steve was very quickly off the mark to request a seat at the table....I assume that AusAid maintained contact with all submitters and asked them to make a submission. I would be very surprised if Steve didn't make a submission.

I put a high level of importance on the Conference because I think that providing that the Conference has been sufficiently well organised the subsequent publicity could be priceless. We have previously seen the SP reaction to exposure on pay TV, and exposure to a wider audience and newspaper coverage will have a positive effect. Notwithstanding publicity, at the end of the day the trial report is at the top of the list as far important events that will effect the SP but publicity is also high on the list.
