Hosted by the Tauranga Chamber of Commerce, this thought-provoking event will bring together local business leaders in the tech and innovation space to ask the big picture questions of their industry and beyond. In a post COVID-19 world we will find out where they see the future, or how they would suggest we could use this situation to best advantage and build from here, to use this crisis as an opportunity to think differently. Discussion points could include what the region's assets are, how we will do business in the future (and with whom) and how we could operate moving forward.
Hear their stories, gain their insights and discover their vision for the future of the Bay of Plenty region. Expect robust discussions and ideas that challenge the status quo.
Free for Tauranga Chamber members; Non-members: $25
