Designed in consultation with schools around NZ, the aim of the conference is to support educators with professional learning around their needs. 2016 saw the launch of Energise in Ashburton, Mid Canterbury. With 300 delegates it was an absolute success. Cyclone is dedicated to organising a conference that is purely education focussed, no sales pitches, nothing to buy, just a really great energising conference.
