MEETING OF THE MINDS
15-17 APRIL 2015 • NAPIER WAR MEMORIAL CONVENTION CENTRE
SPONSORSHIP AND EXHIBITION PROSPECTUS
W W W. NZAO2015.CO. NZ
On behalf of the executive committee and conference
committee of the New Zealand Association of orthodontists,
we are pleased to inform you that our next biennial
conference will be held in Napier from Wednesday 15th to
Friday 17th April 2015.
The purpose of this message is to offer you the opportunity
to participate and promote your company and its products at
this meeting, and at the same time to join us at the excellent
social functions we are planning.
The conference venue will be the War Memorial Convention
Centre, which is situated close to the centre of the city
and is a landmark purpose-built facility. The conference,
entitled “Meeting of the Minds” will focus on interdisciplinary
management of various orthodontic challenges. As the
name suggests, there will be interaction with other dental
specialists. International keynote speakers have already been
engaged and we are expecting both national and international
attendance to this meeting.
Napier has a lot of character to offer which can mostly be
traced back to its strong Art Deco heritage shaping the towns
architecture. When visiting the town you’ll be sure to discover
it was completely rebuilt after a disastrous earthquake rocked
the area in 1930. The conference venue is strategically located
on the beautiful and busy waterfront and walking distance
from the shops and restaurants.
