The 2025 IAP2 Australasia Symposium brought together engagement practitioners, community developers, and communication professionals for an inspiring and thought-provoking event in Tāmaki Makaurau.

From Vic Crockford’s powerful keynote on trust and storytelling to Amy’s engaging session on the DOTs theory, attendees walked away with fresh ideas and new perspectives. Julian Moore’s AI and engagement session provided eye-opening insights into the future of technology in our work, while breakout discussions on youth engagement and mana whenua sparked valuable conversations.

The event wasn’t just about learning - it was about connection, collaboration, and practical takeaways. Site tours, networking, and social events gave attendees the chance to exchange ideas and build lasting relationships.

A huge thank you to our fantastic speakers, sponsors, and everyone who participated. Your contributions made this event truly memorable. We look forward to welcoming you back next time!
