What makes researchED New Zealand different?

I have been asked a few times recently “What makes researchED New Zealand different?”. It is a fair question, especially in a crowded education landscape where conferences, summits, and PLD opportunities blur into one another. I’m also mindful that I publish this with the event effectively on the verge of selling out, three months before it happens. This is not an attempt to sell a ticket to anyone, rather to frame the day and to build on the network of teachers and researchers that is taking shape right now.
