The conference whakataukī is

Taku ahi tūtata taku mata kikoha, taku ahi tawhiti taku mata kiporo

The call for proposals explains:

"Keeping close to one's passion (fire) to become and remain skilled or adept (sharp). When a cause (fire or ahi) is close to one’s heart and interest, the commitment, passion (point or kikoha) is always greater.

The further away from the fire the more uninterested one becomes."
