Southern Regional Forum 2025

Southern Hub Sector Services Manager Jennifer Leahy is pleased to invite you to the Ako Aotearoa Regional Forum in Christchurch. 

This face-to-face event will feature a range of presentations and discussions centred around the theme of Cultivating Thought Leadership and Excellence in Teaching | Shaping the Future of Education. 

The programme planning is in full swing, and we promise you a lively, interactive and informative day. 

We've taken previous feedback onboard and have added kōrero/talanoa sessions dedicated to key areas of tertiary education that will enable everyone to connect, discuss and have their say.
