We are thrilled to announce that Irene Pink, 2009 finalist in the New Zealand Comedy Guild Awards ‘Best Female Comedian’, will be our warm, funny and ever- so-slightly bossy MC for the day!
- Your choice of 10 snappy, practical and targeted short workshops from subject-matter gurus, such as Russell Toplis presenting his ‘Top Five Money Tips & Tools’, Vicki Allpress-Hill on ‘Marketing on a Shoestring’, Lorraine Blackley on how ’Your Creativity can Transform your Business’, Baruch Ter Wal on ‘Branding: More Than Just a Logo’, and many more –the programme is available at http://www.thebigidea.co.nz/connect/events/2010/jul/71498-in-the-workshops-survive-thrive
- Speed Networking! It’s like speed dating, only much more rewarding! It’s a fantastic, one-off opportunity to meet and connect with people who you want and need to talk to, who want and need to you. Truly, not to be missed!
- New Zealander of the Year and Supreme Award Winner of the 2010 Sir Peter Blake Leadership Awards, Ray Avery will move, challenge and inspire us with his story of the ups and downs he’s experienced as a world-renowned inventor and social entrepreneur.
- An Expo of people and organisations who can help you do what you do – already confirmed The Sustainable Events Alliance, Splore Dynamics, NZ Art Guild, Goethe Institute, ART Generator…
Don’t forget Earlybird registrations (up to 1 July) are $25, after that it’s $30 so it really does pay to get in early. If you are having difficulty choosing which workshop sessions to do and when – don’t worry – you are welcome to decide on the day.
