Over three days, delegates came together to share knowledge, challenge thinking, and strengthen relationships across Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia and wider international networks. The calibre of discussion, openness of collaboration and genuine spirit of connection reflected the strength and depth of our professional community.

We extend our sincere thanks to all those who contributed to the success of the conference, particularly our sponsors and exhibition partners, whose generous support and ongoing commitment to the sector helped bring the programme to life. Your involvement plays a vital role in strengthening industry capability and fostering innovation.

A heartfelt thank you also to our keynote speakers and presenters, who shared their expertise, research and insights with such professionalism and thoughtfulness. Your willingness to contribute your time and knowledge is what underpins the quality and impact of this conference.

Finally, thank you to every delegate who engaged fully, asking questions, sharing experiences and building new connections. The conversations held, ideas exchanged and collaborations formed during this time will continue to shape best practice and future outcomes across our industry.
