About the National Investigations Symposium
The National Investigations Symposium ("NIS") aims to enhance the skills and knowledge of delegates to develop better approaches to complaint handling and investigative practice. The professional networking opportunities afforded to delegates is another valuable element of this renowned event.
The 14 NIS program comprised a two-day symposium of plenary and break-out sessions on 28 and 29 May 2025, and a preceding day of interactive workshops on 27 May 2025. It was attended by over 700 delegates, and the workshops program was fully subscribed.
