AAIR Forum 2026
25–27 November 2026
Albany, New Zealand
See You in Aotearoa!
We’re excited to share that the 2026 AAIR Forum will be hosted at the beautiful Sir Neil Waters building at Massey University’s Albany campus in Auckland, New Zealand.
The AAIR Forum brings together professionals from across Australasia working in institutional research, planning, analytics, business intelligence, quality, strategy and higher education data to connect, learn and share ideas in a supportive and collaborative environment.
We are currently finalising the program, themes and event details, and we look forward to sharing more information soon. In the meantime, we encourage you to save the date and start planning to join colleagues from across the sector for what promises to be an engaging and inspiring event.
The 2026 Forum will provide valuable opportunities to:
- connect with peers across Australasia
- explore emerging trends and challenges in higher education
- share practical insights and case studies
- strengthen professional networks and capability
