Not only is New Zealand on The Guardian’s list of places to visit in 2015, but it will be home to the IPWEA and IFME’s joint conference in June.

The theme of this year’s conference will be ‘Sustainable Communities, Sharing Knowledge’ in line with the mission statements of IFME and IPWEA. 

Headlining the event will be keynotes Lawrence Yule, President of Local Government New Zealand and the Mayor of Hastings District Council; Roger LaSalle, TED speaker and Chair of the CEO Institute; and clinical psychologist Nigel Latta.

In addition to the keynotes, delegates will be able to choose from eight dedicated content streams that will run concurrently over the course of the event.

Details of these streams can now be viewed online. They include: 

Asset Management practice
