Hold onto your hats as we bring you a whirlwind of excitement in the windy capital! Get ready for the 2024 MANZ Conference on September 13th-15th. Mark your calendars for this unmissable event!

In the true spirit of grassroots connection, we are thrilled to rekindle the camaraderie that comes with gathering our massage therapy community. It's been a while since our last conference in 2019, and the anticipation is building for this reunion – a chance not only to reconnect with old friends but also to forge new connections and build lasting relationships with therapists from around the nation.

Join us as we create a unique experience, where the collective wisdom of Aotearoa takes centre stage. This conference is more than just an event; it's a celebration of our community and the invaluable knowledge we share.

Conference Details:

• Date: September 13th-15th 2024
• Location: West Plaza Hotel, Te Whanganui-a-Tara | Wellington
• Theme: Te Whare Tapa Whā

In exploring Te Whare Tapa Whā, we find resonance with our role as massage therapists, enriching well-being through touch and connection. Rooted in Aotearoa and conceived by Sir Mason Durie, this holistic model envisions well-being as interconnected dimensions within a meeting house. As practitioners, we embody elements of this approach, illustrating our ongoing dedication to enhancing individual and community well-being.

Why Attend?

Joining us at the MANZ Conference provides a firsthand experience of the invaluable guidance within the massage therapy profession. The conference plays a pivotal role in creating a solid support system for therapists, especially those in small businesses or remote areas, reinforcing the sense of community among experienced professionals. It's a unique opportunity to connect, learn, and advocate, serving as a hub for ongoing encouragement and fostering the community spirit that makes MANZ membership truly exceptional.
