What happens when you stop waiting for the system to catch up—and build a new one instead?

Cathy Hardinge joined the Master of Technological Futures with no business, no clear roadmap, and just four days' notice. Today, she leads a national movement tackling two of Aotearoa’s biggest challenges: the senior digital divide and ageism.

Jacqueline's journey from writer to technologist centred on one question: how do we build digital spaces where everyone belongs?

This year's AI Hackathon Festival aims to solve problems based on the five key UN Sustainability Goals. And we’re hosting one of their events!

You're building the future. Join the people doing it with you.

This is about what learning could look like. It's a chance to meet the community already reshaping how we work, lead, and solve the problems that matter.

If there is one event to add to your business calendar - this is it. In our fast paced world the only constant is change. You can either move with it, or let it pass you by. Join academyEX founder and renowned futurist, Frances Valintine for the popular Quarterly Briefing to keep ahead of groundbreaking trends in Business and Technology Disruption.

With her expertise in global trends, Frances will unpack the future of technology, sustainability, and education, and introduce you to the game-changing AI tools you didn’t even know you needed.

Don’t miss this opportunity to be inspired, challenged, and equipped for what’s about to change the world (it's not what you think!)

We're so very proud of what you have achieved, and it’s been an absolute pleasure to be part of your journey. We can't wait to celebrate with you!
