Conferences and Announcements

Dunedin mini-conference has been cancelled

Unfortunately, the committee has decided to cancel the planned November mini-conference (which was to be held in conjunction with the NZHA conference in Dunedin).

The closing date for abstracts was last week, but we have not received sufficient offers of papers to run a day-long event.

As a result, the PHANZA committee has decided to cancel the conference, and we believe that doing this sooner rather than later gives people good notice if they need to change travel plans.

I was wondering if you could please tell your members about the survey, and direct them to the website to complete it?
