Fronting up

The NZHHA Conference lived up to its theme. We had record attendance and there was a real buzz of energy, thinking and talking.

Post-conference comments have been flowing in from attendees, includinging:

• "I was really impressed with the conference, particularly coming from another sector. I gained a real appreciation of the value of home support in our nation and also the passion as a sector that you have. I valued home support already, but I have come away with a new appreciation of your sector and I will be encouraging other NASCs to attend in the future. Well done!"
• "Thank you for a great NZHHA conference. I particularly enjoyed Phillip Patston's presentation which really challenges thinking and the practice. He was awesome and compelling. Obviously we enjoyed the dinner function and after function as well as both individuals and a team. I was particularly interested in the conference presentations as they contained some really important elements and information that could be referred to by us as we focus on our services."
• "Thank you for organizing this year's NZHHA conference. I have been to six NZHHA conferences and this has been the best in terms of numbers of key people, the organisation of vendors and also general interest. You have all done a great job – the general atmosphere of the conference was great – the delegates were positive and there was a lot of discussion about a number of issues.” “Thank you very much for putting on such a wonderful conference which had so much to offer in terms of speakers."
• "I just wanted to say many thanks for an excellent conference last week. It was the first NZHHA one I have been to – it was really well run, well organised and the topics were really interesting."

Conference presentations are now available.
