The conference highlighted key themes across the two days and featured a number of panels to engage with conference attendees. The first day of the conference also included the monumental launch of the Pacific Mental Health Commissioner.

In an interview for RNZ, PFL CEO, Debbie Sorensen, acknowledged PFL partners and Navigators for their impact in serving Pacific families. 

"Over 70,000 families have been impacted by the work that the group has done and we have connected, over the last nine years, with 96% of our Pacific community in one way or another. 

"It really speaks to the value that our Pacific Navigators and health and social service workers add to families' lives."

Minister for Pacific Peoples, Hon Barbara Edmonds, and Minister for Whānau Ora, Hon Peeni Henare, both attended and spoke at the conference. Speaking to PMN News, Minister Edmonds emphasised on the support PFL have mobilised during times of emergency. 

"We've had a massive few years, and they've been everywhere, the volcanic eruption in Tonga, floods here in Auckland, Cyclone Gabrielle, it's been that workforce that has stood up quickly to respond. 

"So for them to get together first of all to share those lessons but also to be able to celebrate because they've had a massive job, and they've done really well." 

Mrs Sorensen expresses her gratitude to Minister Edmonds and Minister Henare for their presence as well as conference attendees, panelists and PFL Board Directors for contributing to the talanoa and success of the conference.
