Students to be an integral part of the success of the Spart Conference and the SpArta dinner.

Not only is SpArt going to bring industry, government and RTO's together it will also be a way that students can showcase what they do best.

Verve is taking an innovative approach to setting the scene at the SpArt conference and the SpArta dinner.
