Saturday 14^th September, at the Rydges Wellington Airport. Registration from 8:30am for a 9am start, aiming for a 5pm finish. If you’re flying straight home, allow for running slightly over time, just in case.

There is also an informal social event on Friday 13^th September from 7pm, also at the Rydges.

There will be a minimum 6 hours of formal learning involved. Depending on how you spend your break times and what discussions you have, these potentially could count towards informal learning if properly recorded.

Since we love a chance to get together, Osteopaths NZ is hosting an informal gathering at the Rydges from 7pm on Friday 13^th for those already in Wellington. We’ll provide some finger food, grab yourself a drink and catch up with your colleagues from around the country.

Not this year – with several hands on workshops involved it made more sense to keep this year’s symposium to be in person only.

Previously this has been the case – but we wanted to maximise time at each of those events so this year the Symposium is a full day of presentations and workshops and the AGM is being held via Zoom the following week on Wednesday 18^th September. OsteopathsNZ has sent members an email to register your AGM attendance as well as a call for nominations for board positions.

To book a superior King or Twin room at our negotiated rates, you need to book directly with the hotel via phone (04 896 9150) or email (reservations_rydgeswellingtonairport@evt.com) and Quote “ONZL Limited POA - September 2024”

We have a limited number of rooms reserved for Friday and Saturday nights at $242 single or $272 double occupancy including breakfast.

If you are flying into Wellington, the Rydges is literally in the airport terminal. If you are driving, the covered multi-storey carpark within the airport parking is right across from the Rydges. By staying overnight or attending the symposium you will be eligible for discounted parking rates via the Rydges reception.

The airport express bus runs frequently throughout the day if you are coming from the Wellington CBD.

Unfortunately yes. All workshops are only running once, so you will need to decide between the Women’s Health stream and the Common Knee Injuries stream, and then again between Phillip Beach’s Emergent Anatomy Workshop and Jacquelyn Schirmer’s Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome presentation. You will need to make your choices on registering, but if there is space you may be able to swap at a later point.

Register by Monday August 19^th to lock in the best rates. Student rates remain the same throughout.

Absolutely not (though you should definitely consider joining up!). All osteopaths, osteopathic students, or other related allied health practitioners are welcome to attend.

We are putting the final touches on the programme and will have it available on the OsteopathsNZ website and our members social media as soon as it is ready.
