2 – 4 October 2019Novotel, Auckland Airport

Event Programme

This conference will explore the proposition that being entrepreneurial is a big part of the answer. Our Wahine Maori

& Pasifika speakers are drawn from a range of employment endeavours and are keen to share their stories – the highs and the lows, the negatives and the positives – with others who are in the same position or who are thinking of venturing into this brave new world. To complement those presentations we have also invited Wahine Maori & Pasifika with particular expertise

in areas such as business practicalities, finance and marketing. How is it for indigenous women in other countries? Some of our

speakers will talk from their own experience about being an indigenous woman entrepreneur in their countries.

PROGRAMME 2019If you get into entrepreneurship driven by profit, you are a lot more likely to fail. The entrepreneurs who succeed usually want to make a difference to people’s lives, not just their own bank balances. The desire to change things for the better is the motivation for taking risks and pursuing seemingly impossible business ideas. We are proud to bring you this exciting line up of speakers. Wahine who have achieved in the business world and as entrepreneurs.
