CATE Conference 2023—Whangarei, Northland
Wednesday 22nd-24th November 2023.
Te Pito: Take the time to reset, come back to the beginning and rediscover your “True North”
Our conference will be about reconnecting with and replenishing our kete in the region that was originally home to the first Maori and European settlers in Aotearoa. It will be about learning where we have come from, rebuilding our connections and setting a course for our collective futures so that we help the people we influence find their “True North.”
Whangārei is Aotearoa’s northernmost city and gateway to the warmest region in Aotearoa. Te Tai Tokerau, Northland, is one of the fastest-growing regions in Aotearoa. It is home to golden beaches, ancient forests, stunning landscapes, diverse flora and fauna, rich history and whakapapa and amazing people!
The conference will be held in venues across the Whangarei CBD. Manuhiri will experience our Forum North Convention Centre, our new waterfront precinct, which is home to the world-renowned Hundertwasser Art Centre, our harbour, our manaakitanga and of course our people.
