Special Sessions
Conference Orientation
Wednesday 13 September , 9.30am to 10.10am
An introduction to the conference which will help to set the scene and break the ice. Find a conference buddy and learn how to get the most out of your conference. Suitable for all delegates – newbies and repeat offenders.
Professional Membership Workshop
Wednesday 13 September, 1.15pm to 1.45pm
HRINZ members who have the vision (and desire) to speed up their career development through professional recognition will find this short session particularly helpful in attaining that goal. The HRINZ accreditation process (formerly known as certification) has been greatly improved over the last few years, resulting in an easy self-assessment online process with quick application turnaround. Use this session to find out more about becoming a ‘professional member’ of HRINZ and how you can use MHRINZ or SHRINZ (specialist member) after your name and to your advantage. In this day and age we’re told “it’s all about me”, so ensure you measure up when it counts.

HRINZ Birthday Party
Thursday 14 September, 7.30pm onwards
HRINZ turns 50 years old and 21 years young in 2006 and so we’ll be celebrating two big milestones along with the usual fabulous gala dinner and dance party. This year the theme is Decade Delirium and we’re hoping delegates will come dressed in the decade they were born. Music and dancing will be matched to the decades and then we’ll really see where the generations differ…
