When the conference registration was opened NZPCN stated in the event of a Covid-19 outbreak the conference would be postponed until all New Zealand is at Alert Level 1 (based on our understanding of Alert Level 1 on 23 Sept 2021). All conference venues will have QR codes, and Covid-19 registration forms (for those without smart phones and the New Zealand Covid tracer app) which all conference participants will be required to complete or scan into at all venues. Your registration details will be used for contact tracing in the event of a Covid-19 outbreak being identified at the conference. A complete Covid-19 protocol for the conference is being developed, we welcome your questions and suggestions (contact: Alex Fergus ).
Now that the government is moving away from alert levels, the NZPCN committee has agreed that all conference participants, including those only attending workshops or field trips, will need to be double-vaccinated against Covid-19 and have proof thereof.
For international delegates, please note that traveling to New Zealand is currently not easy - please refer to the government information here for specific details.
