Update - March 16th

The WIDSAuckland event, planned for March 21 in Auckland, is now postponed. We want the event to go ahead in the future and will plan a new date – with either an in-person or online format. We wanted to keep it as an in-person event if possible, because we value the sense of community that creates, and the opportunities for informal networking.

Stay tuned for updates by email, twitter (@WIDSAuckland), and LinkedIn (e.g. via WiDS Ambassadors Kate Kolich and Rosalind Archer). We look forward to bring you an outstanding event at a future date.

We wish you all the best in your efforts to address the challenges of COVID19 – at work and at home.

The postponement is endorsed and supported by the WiDS global team. Note while the event was being hosted at a University of Auckland venue – the event is independent of the University. Regular lectures at the University of Auckland are continuing as normal at this stage.
