It’s been a hugely busy year with plenty going on and we invite you to join us for a busy 2 days to refresh, restore and revitalise.
This is an opportunity to catch up and gather insight into some core learnings from the past 18 months. The impact of working, teaching and learning from home, defending your school against future cyber-attacks, exploring the implications of AI and automation, and the future of networking is just some of the subject matter that will be covered.
There will also be time for breakout sessions for attendees as a sector to come together and review their own New Zealand specific challenges as will some specific Professional Development opportunities aimed at developing your professional practice.
