Who is this
conference for?

Delegates will have an interest in traditional Māori healing, mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge), hauora Māori (Māori health) and indigenous health. The conference may be of particular interest to rongoā Māori practitioners, health professionals and clinicians, health providers and suppliers, sector groups, government agencies, whānau, iwi and hapū representatives. 

Why Rotorua?

Ngāti Whakaue has given support for this conference to be hosted on their whenua (land).
