Acupuncture NZ 2025 Conference

The AcNZ Annual Conference was held in Auckland this year at Novotel Ellerslie on the 8th and 9th November. The Conference Committee want to express our sincere thanks to our presenters and the trade supporters who made it such a wonderful weekend. To all those who attended, thank you for coming, it was wonderful spending coming together and spending his time with you.

This year we moved to a two-day format with the AcNZ AGM being held separately in August as a hybrid event. This allowed for the maximum time being spent on professional development during the two-day Conference and we were able to move the timing of the event to Spring – and Auckland obliged by turning on the beautiful weather for us.

We would like to get your feedback on this year’s Conference, and we would also like to hear your feedback more generally to assist us in determining where and when we hold our next Conference.
