Registration is now open for the 2026 conference. So please register at your earliest convenience as this helps us manage catering and organise rooms, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pre-Conference Outing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We are pleased to arrange a special ANZABS pre-conference outing: to see the Sisters of Mercy at the Powerstation in Auckland on the evening of Saturday 5 December, which is on the weekend prior to the conference. What promises to be a delightful evening will be preceded by dinner across the road at Galbraith’s Alehouse. So if you are interested in joining us, get your ticket (General Admission) at AAA Ticketing<\/a> and email M\u0101ngai M\u0101ori and Pre-Conference Outing Organiser Dr Deane Galbraith<\/a> to be included in our restaurant reservation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Post-Conference Outing<\/p>\n\n\n

On the day after the conference (Wednesday 9 December), William H.C. is organizing the ANZABS City + Biblical Studies tour. For all those interested, let him know on the ANZABS Facebook page<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The excursion will head into the city for a day trip to try out the coolest train tunnels and longest escalator in Aotearoa, admire the City Rail Link and its various mahi toi \/ artworks… and hopefully visit the Auckland City Library and view some of their Bible \/ theology related manuscripts and archive materials (pending discussions with library staff).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
