Christmas party planning in September?

Honestly, not the worst idea.

Some dates have been booked a year in advance so get in touch now to find out what is still available. The view on a warm summer evening at Midway does make your end-of-year catch-up feel a lot more special.

LEADERSHIP & INNOVATION SYMPOSIUM WITH KARIN VOLO
- AI Dystopia or Utopia, The Choice Point for Humanity is Now!

Artificial Intelligence is no longer a future concept — it’s shaping decisions, culture and leadership today. The real question isn’t just what AI can do, it is how we choose to lead through it.

BDO Gisborne is delighted to invite you to our upcoming professional leadership and innovation symposium featuring international bestselling author and AI & culture expert, Karin Volo.

Karin will explore the following key areas:
📍 Why AI is a leadership and culture challenge — not just a technical one
📍 The two futures already emerging, and which path you’re on
📍 Why trust, care and human connection are your greatest advantage
📍 How to lead teams effectively through uncertainty
📍 Practical leadership tools to use straight away

Grounded in both global insight and human centred leadership, this session also reminds us about what ultimately sets organisations apart in an AI-driven world.

Where fundamental values such as manaakitanga (care), whanaungatanga (connection) and kaitiakitanga (guardianship), allow organisations to navigate this everchanging digital transformation environment, with greater confidence.

As technology accelerates, it’s how we show up for one another that will ultimately define our success. “The dystopian future isn’t inevitable. The utopian future isn’t guaranteed. The choice is ours.” — Karin Volo

A flexible space with the coast right there.

Set up for meetings, workshops, training days or community gatherings, the Mana Moana Lounge keeps things practical without feeling like a typical venue room.

Plenty of room inside.
