Te Ara Whakamua | The Path Ahead

12 August 2025, Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland

Let us equip you with the tools, insights, and support to help you grow forward — with purpose, direction, and impact.

The whakapapa of Tuia has fostered understanding of evolution, action, and vision. Te Ara Whakamua will not only show us where we’re going, but also how we get there, who can support us, and what resources we use along the way. It is paved with intention, innovation, and intergenerational purpose.

Seize this opportunity to learn, collaborate, and thrive.

Tuia is an event designed specifically for Māori within the Service sector, providing a platform where pakihi Māori and kaimahi Māori voices are amplified, acknowledged, and celebrated.

Secure your spot today and be part of an event that promises to inform the future of service industries.
