The Paediatric Society of New Zealand (Te Kāhui Mātai Arotamariki o Aotearoa) has confirmed its 77th Annual Meeting for 9 to 12 November 2026 in Wellington, according to the society's annual-meeting page and the dedicated conference website. Pre-conference satellite meetings run on Monday 9 November, with the main scientific programme across Tuesday 10 to Thursday 12 November 2026. The meeting carries the theme 'He kai kei aku ringa', structured around three threads: Embracing Wellness, Embracing Innovation and Embracing Identity.
The meeting is the society's flagship annual scientific gathering, organised by the Paediatric Society of New Zealand. Registration and programme details are managed through the dedicated conference site at www.psnzconference.org.nz, which the society lists as the official channel for the full programme and registration.
The meeting is aimed at paediatricians, paediatric trainees, nurses, allied health professionals and researchers working in child and adolescent health. The society says the programme spans keynote sessions, workshops and panel discussions alongside a social programme. Named speakers include Professor Phil Fischer of the Mayo Clinic as international keynote, Associate Professor Paula Toko King delivering the Leo Buchanan Memorial Lecture, and Dr Thorsten Stanley delivering the Montgomery Spencer Memorial Lecture; the conference site also lists Dr Kuang Hsiao and Dr Ashwin Bhana. The call for abstracts opened on 3 June 2026 and closed on 31 August 2026, and registration opened on 29 June 2026.
The confirmed venue is The Great Hall at Massey University in Wellington (Te Whanganui-a-Tara), per the conference website and a 18 May 2026 update on the society's page; an earlier 'Save the date' notice had referenced Rutherford House before the move. Massey University's Wellington campus sits in the Te Aro area of the central city, adjacent to Pukeahu National War Memorial Park and within the compact Wellington CBD. As neutral context for delegates, central-city accommodation, the central rail and bus network, and Wellington Airport all serve the wider city area; specific transfer and accommodation arrangements, where offered, would be published on the conference website.
