About ANZSASI 2026

The ANZSASI Conference initiative has been evolving rapidly over recent years to become a highly valuable resource to aviation safety professionals, as well as its traditional base of air safety investigators. A joint initiative of the ‘New Zealand Society of Air Safety Investigators’ and the ‘Australian Society of Air Safety Investigators’, the aim of the conference is to provide ongoing professional development for aviation industry professionals working in the field of aviation safety and accident investigation. The origins of the ANZSASI Conference dates to the inaugural ‘Regional Seminar’ event run in Brisbane in 1997, and in the current era, the conference is hosted on an annual rotation basis between the Australian and New Zealand societies. The Asia Pacific Cabin Safety Working Group (APCSWG) Seminar is also held alongside the ANZSASI Conference each year. This year’s conference will be held in Wellington, which is also the home for CAA and TAIC (and the NZDF), so plenty of opportunity for pre- or post-conference meetings, if that helps getting any travel budgets approved!

Who Should Attend

The ANZSASI conference is aimed at experienced and early career air accident investigation professionals, as well as aviation safety professionals, and academics. University-level students interested in air accident investigation are also encouraged to attend. The program is applicable to the following segments of the aviation industry who seek to be kept up to date on developments in aviation safety, and incident and accident investigation, including:

• Airlines

• Air navigation service providers
• Airport operators
• Government agencies

Visit Wellington

For those that have never been to Wellington, this vibrant city has plenty to see and do. Wellington is a compact city nestled between thehills and the harbour and, as they say, you can’t beat it on a good day. It has fantastic café’s, bars, and restaurants (not to mention craft beer!) and is also the home of the national museum – Te Papa (which has an excellent Gallipoli display) and Wētā Workshop (for LotR & Avatar fans). Have a look at https://www.wellingtonnz.com/ for more inspiration.
