Manatiaki Kōawa | The New Zealand Rivers Group invites you to join us for our 2024 conference from

6 - 8 November, Ahuriri | Napier

​

Our theme for this year is Ka Mua, Ka Muri | walking backwards into the future. Over two and half days we want attendees to reflect on the past and consider how we best navigate an increasingly uncertain future.  We will get out alongside the awa to learn from tangata whenua and others about the past before moving inside to consider kōrero on the future. This year we also want to hear more stories, thoughts, experiences, and learnings from attendees in a longer open session and a series of ‘lightning’ talks to accompany posters.

We look forward to you joining us for what is sure to be a thought provoking few days.

​

In an effort to minimise waste at this year's conference there will be no conference bag. 

​Each delegate will receive a printed conference book, including a programme.  If you wish to have a bag at conference, please bring your own.  ​Delegates area also encouraged to bring their own refillable water bottles.
