Antarctica New Zealand and the Royal Society of New Zealand are proud to announce a conference celebrating 50 years of New Zealand's involvement in the Antarctic. The conference aims to present the successes of the past (International Geophysical Year to present day) and enthuse New Zealand about its future in Antarctica.

This five-day conference combines invited talks from national and international speakers, presentations from artists, media and students, film screenings, panel discussions, poster sessions, and social functions. The main conference is preceded by a day of workshops/meetings and Antarctica New Zealand sessions.

We invite those with any interests in Antarctica to join us in this conference and celebration, to build on the past and work towards the future in the spirit of the International Polar Year (2007-2009). In particular we invite Antarctica New Zealand supported events and groups with interests related to Antarctica and Antarctic research to present their work in a poster presentation.
