There are two qualities angels have in spades… optimism and creativity.
Covid is going to keep lobbing curve balls at us for a while but we are surging on with plans to run the summit in person. We are optimistic that we will be back at Level 1 by then and if we are not, then we will lean on the ‘creativity’ piece and run something fabulous and virtual.
If we are at Level 2 then the first 100 people registered will be our summit attendees. We will let you know when you register if you are not one of the first 100.
If we are at Level 3 or 4, then we will go virtual. At that point, if you’re still up for attending the virtual event and have paid for your in-person summit ticket we will refund a percentage of your ticket. We will provide a full refund if you do not wish to attend the virtual event.
We are continuing to line up some terrific speakers. In launching registrations we mentioned that Animation Research’s Ian Taylor, who was just fantastic at the Waiheke Summit in 2017, is returning to talk to us about “why this is the time to be thinking differently”. Other sessions will include a fireside chat with a rock star founder and investor team who are scaling rapidly, leveraging New Zealand’s unique reputation to create venture value, a debate on whether you should love or hate convertible notes and a repeat of last year’s popular session with three serial investors sharing their portfolios and their performance.
Please feel free to check out the DRAFT programme and let us know if you have any great ideas or contacts for speakers. |
