Venue
We are planning and hoping that the conference will go ahead at the Hamilton Campus of the University of Waikato, but with the current Covid 19 Pandemic we are planning to be able to offer an online conference if needs be. Please note, if the conference does go ahead face-to-face online presentation options will still be available for those who cannot travel.
We aim to make the conference as environmentally sustainable as possible, and will be asking delegates to bring their own name badges and coffee mugs if it does end up being a face-to-face conference.
Organizing Committee comments
We look forward to receiving your abstracts.
Nau mai, haere mai.
