Help us build Associations Matter 2027
What an incredible few days.
Thank you for being part of Associations Matter 2026. The energy, conversations, connections and willingness to share across our association community made this year's conference something very special.
We have already made one important decision.
Associations Matter will return to the Lower Hutt Events Centre on 1–3 August 2027.
We believe Lower Hutt gives us the space, flexibility and environment to keep growing the conference — and, more importantly, to keep strengthening the association community in New Zealand.
But we don't simply want to repeat 2026.
We want to build on it.
So rather than asking you the usual conference questions, we would like your help designing what comes next.
This is about your experience: what would make the conference more valuable, what you want to learn, who you want to meet, how we can create stronger connections between delegates and suppliers, and what NZSAE can do to help you leave the conference stronger than when you arrived.
