Looking ahead: 28th World Congress of IACAPAP 2028
in Auckland, New Zealand
From 19 to 22 September 2028, the global child and adolescent mental health community will gather in Auckland, New Zealand.
Known for its rich Māori heritage, breathtaking natural landscapes and vibrant multicultural atmosphere, Auckland will provide an inspiring setting for the next IACAPAP World Congress. Delegates can also look forward to the brand-new New Zealand International Convention Centre (NZICC) and the opportunity to experience one of the world's most remarkable destinations.
For many participants, a journey to New Zealand will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, just as attending the congress in Hamburg represents a unique opportunity for colleagues from other parts of the world. It is a powerful reminder that IACAPAP is a truly global association, bringing together professionals committed to improving the mental health and development of children and adolescents across every region of the world.

Welcome Address by Dr. Hinemoa Elder, congress president for IACAPAP 2028
E ngā hau e whā, e te hau kāinga, nei a Mihi ka rere ki a koutou katoa.
E ai ki te kōrero o mua, “He pūkenga wai, he nohonga tāngata, he pūkenga kōrero”
As our ancestors remind us, “where waters gather, people settle
and knowledge emerges”.
