We were fortunate to have an amazing array of invited keynote speakers at the conference, covering topics related to the themes and Transformation through Indigenous Research Excellence.

All keynotes are published on our Media Centre and available to view, recap and share with those that were unable to attend the 6th Biennial Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga Conference.
