Registration subsidies

Applications for subsidised registrations are now open.

We have a limited number of subsidised places available. There is a limit of two people per organisation.

These will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

All subsidised registrations approved prior to 30 June must be booked and paid for by that date. All subsidised registrations approved after 30 June must be made by COB Tuesday 1 September, 2026 and paid by this date.

The subsidised registration fee, which covers the full conference is NZ$590. Please note that this does not include travel costs.

Groups covered under that rate include:

• NGOs,

• Iwi representatives,

• full time students,

• new graduates/those new to the industry (under 2 years in the industry),

• startups (under 2 years)

• non-corporate individuals.

Places will be allocated after consideration of a written application to the conference organisers. Decisions are final and at the organisers’ discretion.

The following criteria will be considered when making the decision:

• Committee or executive membership of a relevant NGO or iwi organisation,

• brief outline of background/education as it relates to an application under ‘full time students/new graduates’ entitlement,

• geographical representation,

• clear inability to pay the full registration fee,

• whether the subsidised delegate represents a view that would not otherwise be represented.

Places will be allocated after consideration of a written application to the conference organisers. Decisions are final and at the organisers’ discretion.
