💕💕It's always great to see people networking (one of the KEY reasons to attend a conference in person!), enjoying themselves, engaging with sponsors, and listening to our presenters.

NMHNZ has a number of members who undertake post-graduate studies. This ranges from an undergraduate degree to a Post-Grad Diploma, & all the way to PhD.

We're excited to have our very own Patrice Kelly presenting on her research - this will be a great conversation starter over the weekend.
We are also welcoming Corin Storkey back onto the stage. Corin is always a popular speaker and will be hosting an interactive workshop on Sunday 22nd.
