AWIS26 conference

Posted 15 April 2026 by Emma Timewell

3-4 September 2026, across New Zealand

The 12th triennial AWIS conference will be taking place at venues across New Zealand, with a hybrid programme.

Recognising current financial and travel challenges across New Zealand, we are hosting our first hybrid conference. Venues across New Zealand will host the conference, with a mixture of online and in-person sessions. We believe this will allow more women to attend the conference (by reducing costs) but still offer the face-to-face networking that attendees value.

Venues:

• Auckland (University of Auckland)
• Waikato (Bioeconomy Science Institute)
• Wellington (tbc)
• Nelson (Bioeconomy Science Institute)
• Christchurch (tbc)
• Dunedin (University of Otago)
