The School of Public Management and Planning of Stellenbosch University,
South Africa is pleased to announce the 11th International Winelands
Conference - "Sustainable Futures: What's Left? What's Right? What Next?"
and to invite the submission of papers for this prestigious event in 2008.

The 11th International Winelands Conference, similar to its 10 predecessors,
primarily provides an opportunity for academics and practitioners in
delivery, regulation and development of public value and in ensuring
eco-systems viability to engage with the challenges of their particular
sectors. However, the conference theme, "Sustainable Futures: What's Left?
What's Right? What Next?" suggests that the governance and delivery
mechanisms of those institutions, units, entities and organs of local,
national, and supra-state government, together with other providers of
public value through service delivery, regulation as well as development and
ensuring eco-systems viability must change decisively in order to ensure a
sustainable future for the 6.7 billion people on earth – and the number is
still growing. The Conference provides the opportunity for challenging this
conclusion and/or sharing ideas on what forms change should take.

The topic of the Conference and the themes will form the basis of the
interaction between academics, practitioners and other stakeholders to
explore a wide variety of issues which will contribute to the discourse.

This 11th biennial Conference will once again be held in historic
Stellenbosch, the university town with scenic oak-lined streets, elegant old
architecture, a wonderful climate, magnificent tourist destinations and, of
course, the world-famous wine estates, from which the Conference takes its
name.

We invite you to submit an abstract of between 600 and 800 words, but no
less than 600 words before 01 November 2007 and take part in this exciting
conference. Please comply with all technical requirements for submissions,
available on the website. For more background on the conference topic and
themes, please read the brief available on the website.

We look forward to welcome you in Stellenbosch.Deyana Isaacs
