Thank you to everyone who joined us for the New Zealand College of Midwives Biennial Conference in Kirikiriroa | Hamilton, 27–29 August 2025.

We are grateful to all who attended, to our inspiring speakers, to every exhibitor who showcased their work, and to each sponsor whose generous support helped make the event possible.

Your participation, energy, and contributions helped us explore important themes around manaakitanga — safeguarding collective wellbeing, caring for our communities, and supporting the midwifery profession.

We hope you found the workshops, plenary sessions, and networking both enriching and rewarding, and look forward to continuing the conversations and connections that were sparked.
