Programme Overview

Monday 27 April

New Zealand Public Holiday

Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance that commemorates all Australians and New Zealanders who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations, and the contribution and suffering of all those who have served. We will pay our respects in the morning and use the afternoon as a reserve day with potential additional activities such as training, workshops and field trips.

Tuesday 28 April

Field trips & exercises

We have designed three three field trips carefully aligned with the objectives of the workshops which will provide great value for delegates. With opportunities to see how landslide risk has been assessed and managed for major infrastructure, to how it's being communicated and controlled through community awareness, these cover the full range of landslide risk management and will be integrated as case studies into the core workshops. For more details see the field trips page.

Wednesday 29 April

Training

Learn from industry experts in the field of landslide risk management. For more details see our training page.
