As Aotearoa New Zealand continues to grow as a bicultural nation, the ability to communicate meaningfully and respectfully with Māori and Iwi stakeholders has never been more essential for communications professionals. 

This event brings together PR and communications practitioners to explore culturally grounded approaches to stakeholder engagement, moving beyond tokenism and toward genuine, trust-based relationships with Māori communities and Iwi organisations.

Central to this is an understanding of mātauranga Māori, the body of knowledge, values, and ways of knowing that are distinctly Māori.
