This is Aotearoa-New Zealand’s most prominent social procurement event of the year. An interactive 2-day summit to be remembered.

About this event

Navigating the Economy of Mana is the theme of this year's summit and was inspired by Dr. Manuka Henare who pushed beyond the traditional boundaries of economics.

Participants will be those working at the cutting edge of transformational social and economic change. Focused primarily on those responsible for developing procurement contracts bringing many of government and private sector projects to life, this is a real opportunity to be a part of a movement to shape the future of procurement practice in Aotearoa-New Zealand.

Amotai (www.amotai.nz) is the supplier diversity intermediary for Māori and Pasifika businesses in Aotearoa. Our purpose focuses on creating equitable outcomes for Māori and Pasifika businesses and our moemoeā (vision) is to build sustainable wealth for Māori and Pasifika by unlocking government procurement contract opportunities.

The summit has an exciting line up of speakers, panels and workshops aimed to inspire and arm participants with the tools to increase the diversity of their supply chains and engage more Māori and Pasifika owned businesses.

The 2-day conference will be interactive and engaging, with keynote speakers, panels, Māori and Pasifika business trade-fair, kai and kōrero evening event, and finishing off with a golf networking event!
