The fourth New Zealand Disability Employers’ Network (NZDEN) ‘Disability Inclusive Pathways’ Conference, 6th-7th August, presents an exceptional opportunity to gain insights from prominent disability in business experts, establish connections with other organisations dedicated to advancing disabled and neurodivergent career paths and outcomes, and fostering a truly disability confident and inclusive Aotearoa.
This year's conference theme, "Orchestrating a disability inclusive workplace culture" is about coordinating the elements of workplace cultures to facilitate the inclusion of disability and neurodiversity. Together we will explore the purpose of disability and neurodiversity inclusion, the opportunities that disability inclusion provides, and the success that it brings to the organisation, the disabled community, and the individual.
The conference programme will feature a pre-conference masterclass with our international guest Susan Scott-Parker OBE, on Monday August 5th, followed by the main conference sessions on Tuesday August 6th, and Wednesday August 7th. A conference dinner will be held on the evening of Tuesday 6th August.
Featuring workshops and presentations led by esteemed national and international experts, practitioners, and people with lived experience, attendees will uncover ways to create an inclusive culture that can support and empower disabled and neurodiverse New Zealanders in their employment.
