Registrations close Monday 5 August. Registrations now closed 

The day sessions will be held at the Commodore Hotel (five minutes from Christchurch Airport) with the networking dinners held off site. Return transport will be provided from the Commodore to the networking dinners.

Dragons’ Den

Thank you to everyone that applied for the Dragons’ Den, we received a huge array of interest from around the motu! The shortlisting process is still underway for Dragons Den but we encourage everyone who applied to come along and support and network with other Maori tourism businesses!

The shortlisted applicants for Dragons’ Den will present to not only the Dragons, but in front of you, too. Please show your respect and support for them as they stand onstage and present their ideas in front of a group of strangers! We wish them all the best of luck.

The Māori tourism workshops will appeal to all Māori tourism experiences, whether start-up or established. There is no cost to attend, but you do need to register to attend here. Registrations close Monday 5 August.

We look forward to seeing you in Ōtautahi next month!
