This programme reflects a commitment to the tīkanga (etiquette) of hosting within an Aotearoa New Zealand bicultural setting. As such, the conference will be opened through an official welcome (pōwhiri or mihi whakatau)  where all attendees will gather together and be formally welcomed into the campus and into the conference by mana whenua. Each day will have a closing plenary which will offer attendees a chance to reflect on the learnings from the day, reconnect with one another and offer notices or announcements for the following day. The conference will conclude with a poroporoaki, which is a process for farewelling visitors before their departure.

Stay tuned as a more detailed ARA KŌRERO will be added shortly
