Welcome to the 2019 SCANZ conference.

The theme this year is Inspiring Change, and we’re really pleased you’ll be joining our community of science communication practitioners and scholars for the 2019 conference.

Together we’ll explore ways in which all of us can help inspire positive change in Aotearoa New Zealand and beyond.

What you'll experience:

• Welcome wai & kai, drinks & nibbles
• Workshops
• Keynote speakers Acushla Dee Sciascia and Sarb Johal
• Lightning talks
• Panels
• Hākari, Dinner (limited places - ticketed separately)
• And - based on last year’s success - an unconference day for in-depth matapaki, discussions.

Workshops:
Please choose ONE workshop per attendee (as the workshops all run simultaneously):

Workshop 1 - Video 101
In this four-hour workshop limited to 20 participants, you’ll learn the basics of creating your own video from your phone, including editing.

Workshop 2 - Synergy in Science Communication: Research and Practice
Using natural hazards as a case study, this dynamic three-hour workshop will delve into how we can improve the relationship between science communication researchers and science communication practitioners, for both types of workers to better meet the needs of all - including our audiences.

Workshop 3 - Communities as Changemakers
In this hands-on and practical three-hour workshop you’ll learn effective methods for science engagement, why community engagement is important, and how real change can be achieved via this approach.

Visit the workshops webpage for more details.

For further details and information, visit our conference page or see the conference programme.

For catering purposes, registration closes at 23:59 Tuesday 19 November.
However we strongly advise you secure your place early because last year the conference sold out before the closing date.
