Registration
Registration is required for each webinar to receive the registration link which will be sent out in advance of the webinar. Registrations close 30 mins before the start of the webinar.

Registration types:
  • NZAIA member: no charge (please note you must be a paid member for 2026 –renew here, if a 2025 member, otherwise join here)
  • $20 for an ordinary non-member registration per webinar
  • Fee waiver – you can apply for a registration fee waiver as part of the registration form (it’s quick and easy!) if you are a student, work at an NGO (including SPREP), or are low-income e.g. retired, on parental leave, etc.
We are a non-profit organisation so our costs are low and focused on meeting the costs of the Zoom webinar platform, not to make a profit. We rely on your honesty to register correctly. Fee waivers are available for those that cannot afford our registration rate.

If the Zoom link hasn't arrived by email from NZAIA Admin by the morning of the webinar, first check your spam/junk folder to make sure it hasn't been intercepted; then if necessary email [email protected]
