IZE 2023: Me tiaki, Kia ora! Caring for Animals, Caring for our Planet, Caring for People

16-20 October 2023

We must look after our environment so all life will flourish. It is up to us to make a difference for animals and the wild places they call home.

Accommodation

We are working with a local accommodation provider to lock in prices for accommodation during the conference. Please note all of these properties are about a 10 minute easy walk to the conference venue on Wellington’s waterfront.
