The Interpretation Network of New Zealand (INNZ) is delighted to announce their 2024 conference, Waha Kōrero: Sharing Stories. This is our first conference since 2019 and a renewal of their kaupapa to provide training and support to interpretation and visitor engagement professionals around the motu.

At Waha Kōrero: Sharing Stories you will hear from a wide range of story sharers who use different mediums to communicate to the public and explore what sharing stories means in Aotearoa today.

The ingoa Waha Kōrero refers to using our voices to share our own kōrero, and being voices for others and their stories. We aspire to share stories with mana and to be vessels for knowledge sharing with our communities. 

This two-day conference will be hosted in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland on the 17th and 18th of October, 2024. The conference will blend uplifting kōrero from featured speakers with practical and immersive field trips to see examples of local interpretation in action.
