I’ll be appearing tomorrow (virtually, via Skype) at this event which promises (and may well help to deliver!)

Meanwhile, in meatspace, I’m speaking tomorrow and Friday at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies symposium Securing Coral Reef Futures on 6th and 7th August in Brisbane at Customs House. There’s a public event on Friday evening
Looks interesting but I’m surprised to see that AIATSIS and ANDS appear not to be involved.
As a participant (and someone interested in education myself), thank you for your insightful comments at the event. The idea that making information and artefacts available for these purposes is not in the job description for institutions and that this should be a target for action was probably the biggest thing I took out of it.
