Please join us 6.30pm on Wednesday 21st November 2018 at Te Wharewaka Function Centre on the Wellington waterfront for pre-dinner canapés and a glass of wine on arrival. This will be followed by a Māori Style Buffet dinner and entertainment.
The Conference Dinner is built into your registration fee, so you need not pay separately for this event.
We look forward to seeing you there.
