What kind of innovation animal are you? We asked our team to channel their inner animal. Why? To visualise the connection between November's Next Fest and Auckland Zoo (the venue). Animals are innovative and so are the business leaders, entrepreneurs and changemakers taking the stage at Next Fest. Be like a leap of leopards, not a dodo, and join us 18-21 November. Invest in the Fest. Because you can't afford to miss what's next!
