AMINZ Conference 2026
Friday 7 August | NZICC
Doing Things Differently
As dispute resolution evolves in response to technology, globalisation, cultural complexity and changing party expectations, professionals are being challenged to rethink how conflict is managed and resolved. AMINZ Conference 2026 brings together leading thinkers and practitioners to explore what it means to do things differently in a rapidly changing world.
AMINZ Conference 2026 is proudly supported by Wynn Williams.
