The conference programme will start first thing in the morning of Monday 2nd February 2026. If you are flying into Christchurch to join us, we recommend arriving over the weekend prior.
The conference will finish around lunchtime on Wednesday 4th February (about 1pm) - so plan your onward travel for late Wednesday or later in the week. Depending upon interest, we may arrange a social outing on the Wednesday afternoon. New Zealand is a fabulous place to explore, so you may like to stay a bit longer to see some sights ...
Each day, the rough structure will be some plenary and tutorial oral presentations to get started, then we will break for morning tea and spend our time up until lunchtime perusing the posters. After lunch there will be some more oral presentations, with another poster session around afternoon tea time. We may finish the day with a final oral presentation.
Tuesday evening will likely be our choice for the workshop dinner, which will be included in the workshop registration package (there will be options for partners to join this event, for a modest fee to cover costs)
Check back here as details become available. Exact schedules are subject to change.
