An annual conference comes along every year but a centennial conference only comes along every 100 years - once in a lifetime. The New Zealand Association of Radio Transmitters will be honouring its past and looking toward its future on the 30th and 31st of May in Auckland as guests gather for the milestone centennial conference.

The ham radio spirit of experimentation will acknowledge the earliest adventures in wireless and will explore the way today's hams test our advanced digital technologies.

Presentations will tell NZART's story from its earliest origins. NZART members who pay for a full registration to the conference will receive a free copy of an illustrated book that tells the association's history. Other copies will also be available to purchase.

Registration has opened and visitors who book their accommodations before the 26th of April will be eligible for discounted rates.
