Visionweek 8 June - 12 June 2020
COVID-19 has changed the world significantly. NZ must respond quickly to create a national vision for NZ in a post-COVID world.
The world’s most successful companies, and increasingly the world’s most successful countries, adopt a long-term, multi-partisan ambitious vision that aligns communities around a few critical outcomes and core values.
New Zealand has recently used its high degree of social cohesion and strong leadership to align five million Kiwis in an unprecedented battle against COVID-19.
IMAGINE if our five million Kiwis set a vision for our future that ensures NZ’s long term sustainability, productivity, resilience and high-quality outcomes for all people, communities and the environment.
We're looking forward to engaging with you in Visionweek and hearing what YOUR vision is for New Zealand.
Welcome to Visionweek NZ 2020!
By registering as a member for free to the Visionweek community, you can access all of the content and to take part in interactive elements during the week, such as forums and live Q&A's and watch our livestreams.
Join us, with some of the best and brightest minds from across NZ and the globe in visioning what the new New Zealand could look like.
