An Audience with Distinguished Professor Emeritus Paul Spoonley (MA Msc PhD ONZM FRSNZ) - https://www.manawatuchamber.co.nz/event-page-humanitix/recx9cQgFwh2tNigD

A “New” New Zealand Emerges. The Impacts of Social and Demographic Change for Businesses.

The Manawatū Business Chamber and The Manawatū Young Chamber would like to extend an invitation to join us for an enlightening conversation with Distinguished Professor Emeritus Paul Spoonley.

The shape and composition of New Zealand communities are changing significantly – and will continue to change over coming decades. The community is rapidly aging, fertility is dropping and is below replacement levels, some regions are growing while others are stagnating or even dropping in numbers, while immigration is contributing to the growing cultural diversity of our communities. How are these dynamics playing out in Palmerston North – and the Manawatū? What do businesses need to think about in this environment?

We think this is an important conversation and look forward to welcoming Paul back to the Manawatū to delve into these issues. Our setting is relaxed, platters will be served to the tables, complimentary drink on arrival and a cash bar.

Investment: Members $35.00 + gst Non-Members $45.00 + gst

Your ticket includes delicious platters served to your table and a complimentary drink on arrival – the perfect way to start the evening!
