To make travel easier and more cost-effective, this year’s Principals' Retreat will be hosted near the Auckland airport, allowing you to fly in and out on the same day if needed. The retreat will take a fresh approach, serving as a dedicated strategy day rather than a traditional conference, reflecting a shift in structure for this year. This will be a fantastic opportunity to come together for a strategic and forward-thinking meeting, sharing ideas and setting the course for success. Your input is invaluable, and we truly appreciate the insights and experience you'll bring to the table.
