The theme – everything is possible – and its focus on youth will form the basis for the discussions and action planning throughout the Summit.
Hosts
The Summit is a residential event held at the Billard Aboriginal Community (‘Billard’) near Beagle Bay approximately 122 kms north of Broome on the Cape Leveque Road.

Representatives from the corporate, not-for-profit, government, philanthropic and community sectors
Individuals
Volunteers
The Summiteers will be joined by Guest Contributors whose unique and powerful participation at specific times during the Summit will inform the work of the Summiteers.
Program
A formal program is not issued ahead of the Summit. However the format involves a mix of activities throughout the day into the evening.
Summit participants will work and relax together in a variety of ways:
Working Groups
Whole-of-Summit reporting sessions
Keynote presentations
Recreational and cultural activities
Working groups
Based on a Consensus Decision Making model, key contributors will be invited to join a Working Group for the duration of the Summit.
Each Working Group will be supported by an experienced facilitator who will guide each of the sessions to reach consensus. Whilst detailed discussions will take place in each Working Group, feedback will be limited to 2-3 key pieces of input to the Summit as a whole based on specific questions.
What does it mean to be a ‘key contributor’?
Every person attending the Summit will be a ‘key contributor’, i.e. there will be up to 150 key contributors.
Key contributors are expected to:
attend the Blank Page Summit for the full schedule of activities
join and contribute to a Blank Page Summit Working Group
act in good faith in relation to the purpose and principles of the Blank Page Summit
co-operate with physical arrangements at the Summit site to assist smooth running
Please note ‘key contributors’ are not expected to deliver prepared papers or make formal presentations to the entire Summit audience. There will be opportunities during the Summit for every individual to participate effectively.
