Thank you for visiting our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page, intended to provide you with quick and comprehensive answers to common questions relating to our 2024 Conference. 

If you still have questions unanswered please contact us at conference@anzea.org.nz.

Will the conference be available online?

Not at this stage.

While we understand the desire from some of our community for a hybrid event we are unable to provide it at this stage. The cost and effort involved to produce a quality offering has been taken into consideration. The committee has discussed this at great length. Balancing the many factors involved in providing a seamless, quality online product, while adhering to budget constraints poses a formidable challenge, making it impractical to deliver a hybrid event.

Additionally we believe there is a significant value to be gained from an in-person event. Attending in person offers unique benefits that contribute to a rich and immersive learning experience. Face-to-face interaction allows for spontaneous collaboration, dynamic discussions, and immediate feedback. The energy and enthusiasm generated in a shared physical space promotes engagement, a sense of community, greater networking, and a deeper understanding, enriching the overall experience.

Will there be a space to discuss Kaupapa Māori?

Yes absolutely.

As noted in the answers above, intention for this conference is to create a space for all voices, which would include Kaupapa Māori as one way of doing our work in ways that are appropriate for our people, places and profession.

We’ve indicated that we’ll maintaining an open mind about how the conference is programmed. This means there would be scope to create a session or forum as part of the conference to support discussions/talanoa regarding Kaupapa Māori evaluation specifically.

Is this conference focused on different Pasifika approaches indigenous to this region or more general approaches?

The conference theme embraces diversity, which means we do not intend for submission to focus only on this region and its approaches. We welcome presentations offering diverse perspectives. This may include the methods or disciplines, or contexts your work has been delivered in. For example, a presentation grounded in economics is as welcome as a presentation on indigenous knowledge.

We also welcome submissions from those working with other ethnic communities, both in New Zealand or elsewhere.
