SCANZ 2022: Communicating Through The Noise

Nau mai, haere mai to SCANZ 2022: Communicating Through the Noise!

The last few years have proven how a sea of misinformation can drown out credible sources of information. It has shown us the importance of tailoring our information so that it is meaningful and resonates with the values of our audience. The theme of this year’s SCANZ conference is “Communicating through the noise”. We have a series of speakers and workshops designed to address how we can communicate science more effectively in Aotearoa through the maelstrom of contradictory sources, extreme opinions and political complexity. This conference offers a unique opportunity for science communicators in Aotearoa to exchange their experiences and build lasting connections.

We're delighted to confirm that the 2022 SCANZ conference is being held at the Dunedin Centre (Town Hall)!

We will also ensure that we continue to have some virtual components for those who would prefer to engage online.

More details will be uploaded as we develop the programme, bearing COVID-19 precautions in mind.
