Join us for our conference on organisational psychology and organisational behaviour, hosted by the School of Psychology, College of Humanities and Social Sciences at Massey University.
Whether you are presenting your work or attending to listen and learn, you will have the opportunity to explore emerging themes, discuss practical applications and build connections with others who share your interests.
The conference will take place over 2 days, beginning with a Practitioner Day designed for practitioners and those interested in applied organisational psychology and behaviour, followed by the main conference day, featuring presentations from researchers, students and practitioners across New Zealand.
Each day begins at 9 am with a warm welcome, networking and refreshments, and concludes around 5 pm.
Full catering is provided, including morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea.
The conference will wrap up on Friday with a closing networking event featuring drinks and nibbles.
