We’re excited to be exhibiting at the 2025 Hand Therapy New Zealand Conference, held at AUT’s City Campus in Auckland. Taking place from 12–14 September, we’ll be on site across Friday and Saturday—come and say hello!

This year’s theme, “Hand in Hand: From Little Fingers to Golden Years,” highlights a truly holistic view of hand therapy, spanning every stage of life. The conference features a dynamic programme of expert guest speakers, free paper presentations, and hands-on workshops—alongside social events designed to foster meaningful connections in the hand therapy community.

We look forward to connecting with delegates, sharing innovative solutions, and supporting the incredible mahi of those improving upper limb care across Aotearoa.
