PSANZ 2024 Congress

Tena koutou (greetings),

It’s our privilege to invite you to Ōtautahi, Christchurch for PSANZ 2024.

The congress will be held at Te Pae Convention Centre in the heart of the city. Pre-congress meetings will commence on the 6th of April and the main event will be held from the 7th to the 10th.

Our theme “Whiria te Tāngata - Weave our people together” represents the collaborative and multidisciplinary nature of our society, woven together by our collective goal to improve the hauora (wellbeing) of wāhine (mother) and pēpi (baby).

Our logo is a woven whariki (mat) made up of strands representing the whānau and supporters (including the society professionals) that are protecting our wāhine and pēpi. You can read more about the significance of the logo below.

The congress programme will celebrate this theme by bringing together a diverse group of speakers and through addressing a wide range of topics. We are engaging with the various special interest groups and the programme is shaping up well.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to our vibrant and rejuvenated city. Why not extend your stay to soak in the majestic sights and culture of Te Waipounamu/The South Island?

On behalf of the local organising committee,

Nicola Austin

Chair, PSANZ 2024 Christchurch, Aotearoa / New Zealand.
