Join the ARANZ Papers & Programme Committee

The ARANZ Conference Committee is seeking volunteers to join a Papers & Programme Committee for the 2026 Conference in Wellington | Te Whanganui-a-Tara.

This Committee focuses on shaping the conference content rather than the logistics or operational side of the event. Members will work closely with the Conference Committee and have their full support.

Key contributions include:

• helping refine the conference theme and overall programme structure

• identifying potential keynote or invited speakers

• assisting with the call for papers or presentations

• reviewing submissions and helping select sessions for the programme

No prior experience is required. Curiosity and a willingness to contribute are what matter!  If interested, please email ARANZ President Richard Foy (president@aranz.org.nz)

Why volunteer?
Participating is a great opportunity to gain experience shaping a conference programme for your CV, connect with colleagues across the sector, and contribute to the success of the 2026 conference.
