RMLA CONFERENCE

Thank you to everyone who attended the Association for Resource Management Practitioners (RMLA) conference. Set against the stunning backdrop of Taranaki Maunga and the dynamic Taranaki coastline, this year's event proved to be an inspiring gathering of environmental professionals from across the nation.

In a world where environmental, social, economic, and political challenges intertwine, your participation highlighted the importance of collaboration as a driver for positive change. Our theme, Interwoven Futures: Harnessing Collaborative Energy, sparked vital discussions on how practitioners, stakeholders, tangata whenua, and the wider community can work together to co-create solutions for our pressing environmental challenges.

We were honoured to host renowned speakers and thought leaders who shared invaluable insights on collaborative resource management. From Iwi leaders advocating for cultural resilience to entrepreneurs leading clean tech innovation, their perspectives inspired us to rethink our approach to creating a sustainable future.

The networking opportunities, engaging workshops, and social functions fostered a spirit of camaraderie and collaboration that extended beyond the conference venue. Thank you for sharing your ideas, experiences, and passion, which truly enriched the event.

Finally we would like to extend our gratitude to our conference sponsors, whose support and investment in the resource management profession was instrumental in bringing this event to life. Without the support of sponsors, we would not be able to deliver such high calibre conferences for the benefit of our members, so thank you.

We look forward to seeing you in Marlborough in 2025!
