2022 Conference
communicating through the noise
The last few years have proven how a sea of misinformation can drown out credible sources of information. It has shown us the importance of tailoring our information so that it is meaningful and resonates with the values of our audience. The theme of this year’s SCANZ conference is “Communicating through the noise”.
We have a series of speakers and workshops designed to address how we can communicate science more effectively in Aotearoa through the maelstrom of contradictory sources, extreme opinions and political complexity. This conference offers a unique opportunity for science communicators in Aotearoa to exchange their experiences and build lasting connections.
We will also ensure that we continue to have some virtual components for those who would prefer to engage online.
Check out the programme here.

If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of the local event staff, event organizers, any member of the SCANZ team or executive committee. Please be assured that if you approach us, your concerns will be kept in strict confidence, and we will consult with you on any actions taken.
