22 - 23 July 2027 | Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington
Partnership and exhibition opportunities
Midwives are present at the beginning of life for more than 60,000 New Zealanders every year.
The NZCOM 2027 Conference brings together the full breadth of the midwifery profession practitioners, researchers, educators, student midwives, and maternity health leaders. This is your opportunity to be part of that conversation: to align your organisation with New Zealand's most important maternal health community, to demonstrate your commitment to better outcomes for wāhine, pēpi, and whānau, and to build lasting relationships with the people who shape maternity care in Aotearoa.
We invite you to participate in the upcoming conference with a number of different partnership packages and exhibition opportunities available. We are also open to discussing your company’s personal promotional requirements and tailoring a package to meet your needs.
