The problem is that we're a bunch of researchers, not comedians. This means we'll be sharing insights with you in the best way we know how – a short presentation followed by a panel discussion. But don’t worry, we know how that sounds.

So, we’ve banned PowerPoint. No word art here. And there’ll be absolutely no pontification. That’s a guarantee.

It’s not just any old panel line-up either, we’ve lined up some educated entertainers, informed influencers and skilful speakers.

Kātene Durie-Doherty, Head of Māori Culture – Motion Sickness
Grace Blewitt, GM Brand & Marketing (Acting) – Air New Zealand
Karin Glucina, Managing Partner – TRA
Daniel Talbot, Strategic Qualitative Director – TRA

Have we sold you yet?

Sure, it's a busy time of year, but it’s also the beginning of party season. So, we're making this event more informal, with plenty of time to eat, drink and connect with other people in the industry.
