NZIEC coming soon – mark your diary now!
It will be free to attend.
The theme for NZIEC 2022 is Towards Recovery: Reflect, Reconnect, Renew.
Covid-19 has had a huge impact on the international education sector. In our first conference since 2019, we will look back at the past two years, and look forward to what we have to offer to the world.
NZIEC 2022 will focus on the sector’s recovery journey and, as the theme suggests, encourage us to: Reflect, Reconnect and Renew.
- Reflect – on what has been a crazy two years. An opportunity for us to share the tough stories, what we learned, how we pivoted, the good stuff we did.
- Reconnect – with each other and with the wider world. Be stimulated by international speakers in offshore markets and hear the latest in trends, shifts and dynamics.
- Renew – building back better for a stronger future. Gain inspiration and embrace innovation so we continue to ThinkNew.
By Reflecting, Reconnecting and Renewing, NZIEC 2022 will help our sector build Towards Recovery.
To ensure we reach the widest possible audience at a critical time for the rebuild of the industry, NZIEC 2022 will be delivered in a virtual format, at no cost to attendees. The virtual format also enables us to connect with a wide range of international speakers and deliver sessions for specific sub-sectors that attendees can opt in or out of. Sessions will be recorded and will be available to registered attendees who cannot attend the original time of the session.
Programme highlights
This year’s NZIEC programme takes a leaf out of the successful New Zealand Partners Workshop Week held in 2021, which connected over 3,000 attendees in sessions spread over the course of the week.
While further details on the programme will be released in July, you can expect the following:
- Conference opening on Monday morning
- Ministerial address
- International speakers
- Industry speakers
- Updates on global market trends and developments
- Market-focused sessions
- Virtual networking opportunities
- Government agency updates
- Conference closing on Friday.
Keep an eye out
Soon we’ll be launching our call for speakers. We’re keen to hear from practitioners right across the sector, so put your thinking cap on if you are interested in presenting – or suggest that a colleague does the same. Further details will be made available in the coming weeks, but if you have an idea for a session, please don’t hesitate to email us: NZIEC@enz.govt.nz
We are also developing a te reo Māori ingoa (Māori name) for NZIEC and look forward to sharing that with you soon.
Registration for NZIEC 2022 will open in July.
Format in future years
The decision to opt for a virtual format this year reflects feedback from our survey of previous and potential conference attendees to find out their levels of interest in attending NZIEC in person this year. While some were keen to gather in person, many more were hesitant to do so due to the cost of attending and concerns regarding Covid-19.
Subject to Covid-19 settings, we plan to resume in-person formats for NZIEC in future years.

Introducing NauMai NZ
ENZ Chief Executive Grant McPherson is pleased to announce the launch today of a new digital platform, NauMai NZ, to support international students as they transition to a new culture and life in New Zealand.
NauMai NZ reflects the Māori concept of manaakitanga, Grant said.
“Our culture of care and respect for all visitors is incredibly important. We are therefore delighted to launch this first phase of NauMai NZ, which supports the first six months of the international student journey, a time when students need extra help.
“We are proud that the majority of students have a fantastic, often life-changing, time in New Zealand. We want this to be the case for every student.”
The content and design of NauMai NZ is the result of research-based insight. It includes advice on working in New Zealand, culture and lifestyle, accommodation, healthcare and wellbeing services.
“Students have been telling us that they need to know where to get reliable, up-to-date information about living and studying in New Zealand, and NauMai NZ provides this.
“This is a generation that is online 24/7 – and NauMai NZ has been designed to provide useful information at their fingertips.”
The first phase of NauMai NZ provides a trusted government source of information that students need in a clear and accessible way. Ultimately, the platform will provide personalised support for students throughout their study, extending beyond graduation to work and a career.
“It is a privilege to host visiting students and we all have a responsibility to look after them.”
The New Zealand International Education Strategy 2018-2030 was launched in August 2018. NauMai NZ aligns with an action in the Strategy – to improve the availability of clear, timely and customer-focused information about education and immigration to students and providers.
NauMai NZ also embodies the objectives of New Zealand’s International Student Wellbeing Strategy by providing content connected with the social, cultural, community, health and wellbeing needs of international students.
The development of NauMai NZ is being led by ENZ in collaboration with Immigration New Zealand, Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, Ministry of Education, and the New Zealand Qualifications Authority.
The platform is fully integrated with ENZ’s wider digital ecosystem, including its platform and analytics capability, providing a new layer of support for the international student journey.
