Overview

According to Maramataka\The Māori Lunar Calendar, the phase of Okoro is a time to review, reflect, discuss new learning, and be creative. At this gathering, on iwi whenua, you'll hear about local history, cultural values and narratives from Board Chair, Marama Royal and engage in kōrero that fosters whanaungatanga — strengthening relationships and networks through shared experiences.  There’ll be workshops and panels about iwi governance, independent directorships, economic resurgence, commercial ventures and more, creating space for meaningful dialogue and collaboration.

Mark the full morning and lunch in your diary now, send us your Expression of Interest and we’ll reserve a ticket for you. Seats are strictly limited.

We will be in touch with all the details prior to registration opening, including cost and a full speaker line-up.
