Branches have regular meetings, seminars and workshops. They are active in assisting with continuing professional development and advancing local issues to central government. Annual Planning Conference NZPI's annual national conference offers you the chance to learn about the newest techniques and to talk with people who are testing them out. The conference brings people together from all over the country and from overseas. Seminars, workshops and field trips explore the planning and environmental issues identified by the local branch organising the conference.
Members save on conference registration.
