It is with great pleasure that the SMAANZ Board announces Professor Emma Sherry as the 2025 SMAANZ Distinguished Service Award winner. The award will be presented at the 2025 SMAANZ Conference in Auckland later this year.

On behalf of the SMAANZ Board, we’re pleased to announce this year’s award and grant recipients.  We look forward to celebrating them all at our annual conference hosted by the Auckland University of Technology in December 2025. A special thanks goes out to our judges, reviewers, and Prof. Kevin Filo for their time and effort in the review process.

Please stay tuned for the announcement of our 2025 SMAANZ Distinguished Service Award winner next week.

The SMAANZ Board is inviting Expressions of Interest for hosting the 2027 SMAANZ Conference. We welcome submissions from Australian and New Zealand universities.
