The next Census is almost upon us! As researchers we understand how important the Census is. It provides key parameters about the New Zealand population, that we use to find and replicate in our research.

Come and hear from Les Greeff, the person in charge of the next Census, as he explains what has changed from the last Census, both from a content point of view but also in terms of approach, how it is going and the challenges COVID and other social / political environmental factors have provided in preparing for the Census.

This is also an opportunity to see Matahana Karoraina Tikao Calman of Kantar Public present her RANZ conference PechaKucha presentation The magic of te ao Māori.
