We would like to thank you all for taking time out from your mahi to come to Kirikiriroa and connect with each other, sharing your knowledge, expertise and experiences so generously.

Thank you to all our amazing speakers, in both the plenary and across all the breakout sessions, We know this is often above and beyond your everyday mahi and your generosity in sharing makes us all the richer.

This was the largest gathering of the addiction workforce in Aotearoa. We hope you have found it as affirming as we have to be here amongst your addiction whaanau. We’ve enjoyed seeing your whanaungatanga in action!

We’ve learnt a lot over those two days. We’ve seen some old friends, some old faces. We’ve heard about some of the challenges we all face but overwhelmingly, we’ve also seen how amazing our workforce is. You are skilled, you are passionate, and so so committed to your mahi. Our communities are better off because of this and we thank you.
