Pack your sleeping bag for an intimate setting at Sir Peter Blake Marine Education & Recreation Centre based beachside at Long Bay, North Shore Auckland on 23 & 24 July.

If this is not your cup of tea, there are plenty of quality accommodation options nearby on the beautiful Auckland East Coast Bays.

The forum is responding to the theme of Diversity. Listening to feedback and reflecting on who you are and what connects with you, we are excited to change location, diversify the engagement at the forum and endeavour to provide a forum that will leave you fizzing about your purpose, your contribution and your future.

Areas of interest being considered for presentations and workshops are:

• Environmental Diversity - Dieback, Water quality, Access Issues & Success Stories.

• Business & Programme Diversity - How to Grow, Reinvent, Sustain, Franchise your business or organisation

• People Diversity - Cultural, Social, Workforce, Age

Bring your SUP, sea kayak, bike, running shoes - there is heaps to play with at MERC and in the Long Bay area. We would also like to hear if you would be interested in arriving Sunday evening and have a fun group social time together.

You can get involved too. If you're interested in contributing to this event or would like to propose an idea, please contact Fiona Ryder, fiona@nzrecreation.org.nz, 02102495914
