E Tipu: The Agri Summit
Senior Event Producer and Stage Manager | 2019-2023
E Tipu is Aotearoa’s favourite food and fibre sector summit. It is a truly hybrid event that brings together speakers and changemakers to share insights, ignite conversations, and shape the future of Aotearoa’s primary sector.
Starting in 2019, the event features a vibrant in-person summit and rich media experience for virtual attendees globally. Speakers’ talks are then available for free on YouTube, post-event.
In 2023 the event became a 5-day World Conference, held over two venues, with 600+ in-person attendees. A collaboration with the International Food and Agri-business Management Association to create a 2-day global summit, 2 day academic symposium, global case study competition, presidential banquet, VIP function, and field trips.
