We believe that our ‘super-power’ at Business Central is creating in-person communities. By bringing business people together, we enable the breakthrough moments for your business that can come from new connections and ideas.
Our success comes from creating events based on ideas worth hearing. From political figures to some of our ‘mighty totaras’ in business and sport, our events offer a wide range of experiences. Whether you’re interested in the most important contemporary issues in business or your own personal development, there are opportunities to choose from.
We create events where our members learn something or come away with tangible actions to apply to your business strategy or operations.
Great partners and a great calendar
We’re proud to partner with great organisations in hosting these events, and our team welcomes opportunities where we could partner on.
Our full range of events is available here, which features many of our highly popular core series that are highlighted below:
Held twice a year (Spring and Autumn) from Gisborne to Nelson, our complimentary Member Briefing is a 2-3 hour symposium covering:
- The current state of the economy and the outlook for what’s next
- Our work representing the voice of members
- Ensuring our members are up to date with changes in the employment relations space.
Member Briefings are regarded as a must-attend for members who want reliable insights into what matters to businesses right now.
Business Central partners with leading consultancy Allen + Clarke to bring you the Beehive to Business breakfast talks. This a uniquely ‘Wellington’ series of events throughout the year, as nowhere else in the country offers such regular access to Cabinet-level politicians.
These opportunities for business leaders to connect directly with decision-makers are highly sought-after, and we're proud to be bringing the regions closer to our nation's decision-makers through an online event.
Focussing on a different area with every chapter, this event series makes big topics accessible for everyone in a more casual setting. Thanks to a strong line-up of speakers in each chapter, these conversations present essential opportunities to be at the forefront of change.
Whether it’s Women in Business or Health & Safety, this series is one that won’t shy away from conversations that we need to have as leaders.
