Hosted by dappanz, Cutting Edge is New
Zealand’s key addiction treatment sector
conference gathering focused on innovation,
professional development, training and
Welcome from Executive Director
Did you know in 2014, 158,313 people (3.5 percent of the New Zealand
population) engaged with a specialist mental health or addiction
service? The specialist addiction treatment workforce is growing
at a rapid rate with an increase of 15,377 clients over the three-year
period between 2011 and 2014. Addiction intervention is also growing
in primary health care settings.
The major challenge for those seeking to access the addiction
workforce is that it is immensely difficult. There are no comprehensive
publically available lists, and, as this sector works heavily on
personal relationships, accessing key decision-makers and workers
is challenging. As the peak body for the addiction treatment sector
dapaanz is the most powerful channel into this market.
Our community includes 1,500 members as well as addiction providers
in primary care services, academics, policy makers, government
agencies, social services and the broader addiction sector.
Aimed at addiction practitioners, upper and middle management
including CEO’s, managers, Board members, policy makers and event
managers; participation at Cutting Edge 2016 is a great opportunity to
network and meet with prospective clients.
Cutting Edge has proven very beneficial for our 2015 partners and
we anticipate that as a 2015 sponsor or exhibitor you will receive a
significant amount of interest from key decision maker delegates in
attendance.
If you have any questions regarding the enclosed packages, please
contact Lu Budden at lu@cmnzl.co.nz or call 04 479 4162.
I look forward to seeing you at Cutting Edge 2016.
