The Future of Work: Bridging the Gap

We know that a thriving workplace doesn’t happen by accident - it’s co-created with intention.
Every generation plays a role. That’s why this conference isn’t just for Gen Z. It’s for everyone who’s committed to shaping what comes next. Because the future of work is something we build together, and the responsibility is shared.

Join us for a day of dynamic conversations led by inspiring and informative speakers. Together, we’ll explore what’s changing in our workplaces and how we can respond in ways that are intentional, inclusive, and future-ready. You’ll hear real stories, practical insights, and bold ideas that challenge assumptions, spark curiosity, and empower action.

This is your chance to connect, contribute, and co-design a future of work that is human-centred, values-driven, and built for all of us, by all of us.

Info: To shape the future of work, we need to understand the context we’re operating in. This session provides a deep dive into the Aotearoa New Zealand landscape, exploring demographic trends, workforce shifts, and societal changes that will influence how we work in the years ahead.

Info: A powerful, cross-generational kōrero highlighting shared values, complementary strengths, and the future we can only build together.

Info: Alyson and David will challenge the stereotypes we all hear about different generations at work. Turns out, understanding how someone thinks and what motivates them matters way more than whether they're Gen Z, Millennial, or Gen X. Through live polls and interactive elements, we'll explore what actually helps people connect at work (spoiler: it's not about age), and share practical tools you can use straight away.

Info: We have a number of breakout sessions for you to choose from, tailored to suit you wherever you are in your career from understanding neurodiversity in the workplace, inclusive leadership, negotiating your pay, successful youth development in organisations (a case study) just to name a few.

Info: As the world of work transforms faster than ever - driven by technology, shifting expectations, global competition, and new definitions of leadership - organisations must adapt to thrive. This panel brings together Chief People Officers and emerging young leaders to explore what the future demands from workplaces, leaders, and teams.
Panelists will unpack the biggest shifts shaping work today, share practical insights on what people expect from employers, and highlight the capabilities and behaviours that will matter most in the years ahead.

Info: In today’s fast-paced environment, constant change can feel overwhelming. This session explores practical strategies to maintain wellbeing and thrive amidst uncertainty. Featuring three inspiring speakers, we’ll dive into the realities of change fatigue, building change resilience, and overcoming imposter syndrome.
