ARPS 2026
Since its establishment in 1975, ARPS has evolved into a respected professional association representing more than 250 specialists committed to promoting best practice in the management and safe application of both ionising and non-ionising radiation. Our members contribute across a wide range of sectors, including healthcare, research, industry, and mining.
The 2026 conference theme, “From Rutherford to Tomorrow: Kaitiakitanga in Radiation Protection”, recognises the foundations of our discipline while embracing the responsibilities and opportunities that lie ahead. It highlights stewardship, innovation, and the shared obligation to protect people and the environment as the field continues to advance.
The conference program will focus on:
- Building capability and supporting emerging professionals
- Presenting advances in technology, research, and practical application
- Encouraging cooperation and dialogue among practitioners, regulators, and stakeholders
ARPS 2026 will deliver a carefully developed program aimed at stimulating informed debate, strengthening professional relationships, and exploring future directions in radiation protection.
Delegates at all stages of their careers will benefit from opportunities to:
- Connect with recognised leaders and experts in the field
- Participate in discussions with influential contributors from across the radiation protection community
We invite you to join us in Christchurch for what promises to be an outstanding conference experience. Register early to secure your place and be part of ARPS 2026.
We look forward to welcoming you to New Zealand in September 2026.
