This year’s ORSNZ conference was the first time we haven’t partnered with NZSA since 2012. Across the two days we had 56 people who attended, and 28 presentations. You can see the abstracts for all the presentations here.
There was also an Analytics Forum event on Well-being Analytics aligned with the first-day on the conference, attended by about 150 people.
