National Mediation
Conference 2023 (NMC Conference 2023) will take place on the 3 – 6 September 2023
The theme for this year is:
“Connecting, Disrupting, Courageous Conversations”
The conference will be held outside Australia for the first time in Wellington, New Zealand (Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Aotearoa)
NMC2023 provides an opportunity for future leaders, existing practitioners, scholars and leaders to share knowledge, skills and ideas, and the program for the event is designed to showcase mediation, restorative justice and other conflict resolution approaches through a variety of presentations, discussions, workshops, and other extended activities.
The conference program will maximise contact among delegates, between delegates and presenters, and between delegates and our conference partners.
The conference will include events that appeal to newcomers to the DR sector, as well as to those with extensive DR knowledge and experience.
