Auckland Association Lunch: Celebrate Matariki with the Association Community (02 July 2026)

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 23:30:00 GMT

Mark Matariki with the Association Community
Join us this July for our annual Matariki Lunch — a time to gather with association colleagues, pause together, and acknowledge the Māori New Year through connection, reflection, and shared conversation.

Matariki invites us to look back on the year that has passed and consider what lies ahead. For associations, it’s a fitting moment to reflect on purpose, people, and the role our organisations play in strengthening communities across New Zealand.

Guest Speaker: To be announced
Our keynote speaker will provide timely insight relevant to association leaders, offering perspective to help frame the year ahead within a changing national and global context.

What to Expect:

A welcoming moment that recognises the significance of Matariki.
A keynote address offering insight and reflection for association leadership.
Time to reconnect with peers from across the association sector.
Shared kai in a relaxed and respectful setting.

This lunch is an opportunity to step away from the pace of work, acknowledge the year that has been, and reconnect with the people who understand the realities of association life.

Spaces are limited. Early registration is recommended.

Register now and join us for a meaningful Matariki gathering with the association community.

Wellington Association Christmas lunch (24 November 2026)

End of Year Function

Our End of Year Function is a moment to pause and properly close out the year together. Hosted as a festive lunch, it brings association professionals together to reflect on the year that’s been, acknowledge shared challenges and successes, and step back from the day-to-day before the summer break.

The lunch will feature a keynote speaker offering perspective and insight relevant to association leadership, alongside good conversation and time to reconnect with peers. It’s intentionally unhurried — a chance to strengthen relationships and finish the year on a thoughtful, positive note.
