SLANZA Conferences & Hui
Professional learning and development is vital for growing and strengthening the school library sector, and the SLANZA Conference/Hui provides essential national and regional opportunities for professional growth and networking. These events serve to elevate the expertise of school library staff by offering high-quality, lead professional learning, fostering collaboration, and sharing best practices across the motu.
To ensure broad accessibility and engagement, SLANZA we aim to host a major national conference every three years, rotating between the three main centres: Christchurch, Wellington, and Auckland. In the intervening years, smaller, focused regional hui are held—one in the North Island and one in the South Island.
This structure is designed to promote equity by offering support and an opportunity for more provincial regions to host and run local events, thereby providing all SLANZA members with a greater opportunity to participate in a significant professional development event close to home.
Our next SLANZA national Conference will be held in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland in 2027 - date to be confirmed.
