ADSA 2022 Conference


2022 Annual Conference

REGISTER NOW

The 2022 Conference theme, Travelling Together, is drawn from the University of Auckland’s gifting of a new name by mana whenua, Ngāti Whātua Ōrakei, the hapu on whose lands the city campus of the University is located, and where the Conference will be hosted. We invite you to travel with us as we reconnect, look back at where we’ve come from, and continue to chart our journeys ahead.

The 2022 conference will be held in-person, with some of the sessions livestreamed/recorded.
