The World Council for Gifted and Talented Children (WCGTC) regrets that the New Zealand World Conference on Gifted and Talented Children Society (NZWCS) has decided to cancel hosting our 2013 World Conference. The NZWCS notified the WCGTC of their decision October 1 saying they had failed to secure enough local funding to support the event. The WCGTC is proceeding with approaching other countries that have expressed interest in hosting the conference in 2013 and will announce a new site as soon as possible. All previous registrations will be honored for the new location. We will keep you posted on developments as they unfold.
