APEX Conference 2026
Delegates Training
Registrations for APEX Delegates Training 2026 are now open. The conference is scheduled for 13-14 October 2026 and will be held at the Waipuna Hotel and Conference Centre in Mount Wellington, Auckland. The National Divisional Council and Executive will be meeting the day prior on Monday 12 October 2026, also at Waipuna.
This year’s conference theme is centred around productivity in the health sector. As in previous years, the first day will focus on the theme of productivity and the second day will focus on employment issues led by APEX advocates.
Difficult Conversations Workshop
Following the positive feedback from delegates who attended Difficult Conversations Training facilitated by Nicola Hartfield which APEX offered to delegates last year, we will also be offering a third day of training at Waipuna on 15 October for delegates who have not previously attended a Difficult Conversations workshop.
This workshop examines the challenges delegates face in their roles and how personal triggers can affect behaviour at work. Through research-based models, reflection, and practical exercises, delegates will learn to recognise and manage triggers, regulate anger, and respond constructively in difficult situations.
If you are attending delegates training and are also interested in staying on to attend this workshop on the 15th, there is an option to select this in the form below, however spaces are limited so please wait for us to confirm your place in the workshop before requesting leave or arranging travel.
