  Celebrate Matariki with the Association Community
  Join us this June for a special Matariki Lunch, where we come together as the association sector to reflect, renew, and connect in celebration of the Māori New Year.

  Matariki is a time to pause, look back at the past year, and set intentions for the year ahead—values that resonate deeply within the association world, especially when it comes to renewing and strengthening membership connections.

  Our keynote speaker will explore the theme of renewals, weaving the significance of Matariki into the challenges and opportunities of member retention, engagement, and growth. This inspiring session will leave you with practical insights and a fresh perspective to apply to your association’s membership strategies.

  What to Expect:

  • A welcoming ceremony embracing the spirit of Matariki.
  • Keynote: "Renewal Through Matariki – Reinvigorating Membership Connections."
  • Networking opportunities with association leaders and peers.
  • Delicious kai to enjoy in great company.

  Let’s celebrate this season of reflection and renewal while exploring how we can create lasting value for our members and communities.

  Spaces are limited, so secure your spot today.

  Register now and join us in celebrating Matariki through meaningful conversations and connections!
