Water Safety New Zealand is pleased to announce that the second New Zealand Water Safety Conference will be held in Wellington on the 24th – 25th of November 2011.

The theme of the conference is Water – Our Fatal Attraction.

Water – Our Fatal Attraction acknowledges that New Zealand has a special relationship with water. Water may sustain, entertain and enrich but drowning is a major, yet often neglected, cause of accidental death both globally and in New Zealand.

The conference will bring together local and international experts providing invaluable insights across a broad range of critical issues for those with an interest or involvement in water safety. The conference offers two days of inspiring, revealing information which will bring you up-to-date with the latest research, trends and results in our sector.

Water – Our Fatal Attraction will feature a varied and interactive format that includes keynote presentations, case studies and workshops.

The audience for the conference will be broad and ranges from local and central government, water safety professionals, educationalists, public health practitioners and the recreational sector including Not For Profits's and Regional Sports Trusts.

Join us in New Zealand's exciting capital city as we examine drowning issues, challenge theory, share current practice and form valuable partnerships.
