We have some great keynote speakers for you.

She is also a co-founder of the Australian Women in Economics Network.
Olga Filippova is Associate Professor in the Department of Property at the University of Auckland. Her research focuses on the economics of natural disasters and resilience in the built environment, including the impacts of earthquakes and the benefits of resilient building design for urban economies and property markets. Her work has also examined post-quake recovery in Christchurch and the impacts of climate change on housing.
Arthur Grimes is Professor of Wellbeing and Public Policy at Victoria University of Wellington and a Senior Fellow at Motu Economic and Public Policy Research.
