Venue: All conference activities take place in or near the Wellington Town Hall which is within a few minutes walk of the CBD and selected hotels.

Dress Code: Smart casual or business attire is the norm. Dressing in theme for the gala dinner is optional and each year more and more delegates choose to show their alter egos at the dinner by taking on the theme. This year’s dinner theme allows for even more innovation than usual, so be warned.

Climate: Wellington in early spring is always challenging. Most years we have beautiful weather with clear blue days and cool nights during our conference but you should come prepared for springtime extremes. Temperatures should be around 15 degrees during the day, dropping to 11 or 12 at night. It might be a little breezy too.

More Conference Information: Email our event managers debra@clockwork.co.nz  for any enquiries.

Who Should Attend: Anyone working in the field of HR, including line managers and others who have a people development/management role. Sessions will be pitched at a range of levels, from new entrants in HR through to mid and senior level practitioners. Primarily this conference is aimed at practitioners, but academics, students and others with an interest in human resources, the workplace, leadership and management will benefit from attending. Recruiters also find interest and value in attending our conferences.
