NZGS wishes you could join us in person at the 2021 Symposium but appreciates that your circumstances may have been affected by COVID. Therefore for this year’s Symposium a selected virtual option has been put together to give you access to a portion of each day’s programme.
Courtesy of Sponsor rocscience, the virtual keynote recordings will be made available to NZGS members after the event concludes through the NZGS website.
The below options give you live time access to the keynote sessions with live Q&A as well as some special sessions. With the virtual registration, you will be able to be part of the event by interacting through the Symposium App! The live Q&A system, allows you to ask questions to speakers during their presentations and they will be answered at the end of the session.
You can sign up for just one day or both days. As an individual or as a company office.
Those registered will receive access to the event stream a day prior to the Symposium.
