The conference proper will run over three days – 13-15th February 2024.
On the morning of 13th Feb there will be a pōwhiri (an important welcome to guests that “removes the tapu (restrictions) of the manuhiri (visitors) to make them one with the tangata whenua (hosts)” link to overview).
There will be four keynote presentations and you can find more information on these here.
The conference will traditional platform presentations by participants, but there will also be an opportunity for informal presentations, workshop-style discussions, and other more relaxed fora. See here for more on the presentation formats.
