The over 200 presentations, panels and round-tables throughout the week were inspiring and received great feedback from attendees. Delegates also enjoyed the variety of events that allowed them to engage and socialise with each other, from the opening night call for a National Māori Research Strategy, to the outstanding inaugural Indigenous 3-Minute Thesis Competition, the entertaining conference dinner at Tāmaki Paenga Hira - Auckland War Memorial Museum and the thought provoking films and Q&A sessions of NPM's first movie night, the week provided an array of opportunities for everyone to renew friendships and forge new research collaborations.
Co-Directors Professor Jacinta Ruru and Associate Professor Tracey McIntosh, on behalf of the conference committee, would like to express their thanks to all those who attended this years conference and made it the success it was.
The work still continues for NPM, and we are already starting to plan for our 8th Biennial conference two years from now.
2018 will mark 16 years since Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga was established, and we are focusing on bringing together another world-class lineup of influential keynotes, presenters, events and research for all those who attend, to contribute towards global Indigenous research transformation.
