Join us at our next event:
Friday 27th October 2023
Cordis Hotel Auckland
This forum discusses the issues that matter, bringing together business, busy career men and women to share experiences, advice and the latest insights.
Diversity, Inclusion, Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) are hot topics at the moment across all sectors and will make up the theme of the next Journey to Excellence forum.
Whether B2C or B2B, customers, shareholders, stakeholders, employees and even government forces are increasingly wanting to know what companies are doing to address these issues. The connection between environmental sustainability, workplace culture and social responsibility is vital for your business & the wider community.
The question is – how your company can respond, adapt and grow? JTE will explore how business might look to implement an authentic ESG approach.

Companies that have joined us for our JOURNEY to EXCELLENCE events and some kind words from past guests…
“Feedback from both our tables are overwhelmingly positive. All of the women really enjoyed the event and the panel session kicked off very interesting conversations after.”
– Michelle, Custom Fleet
“I very much enjoyed the discussions. My clients and I had some very good conversations carrying on from the themes brought up by the panel.”
– Jo, ASB
“I was very lucky to be invited to the M2woman event. I have to say, that was probably the most interesting and inspiring event I’ve been to, as far as the speakers and MC were concerned. From my personal perspective, I find the half day-format particularly good, especially on a Friday afternoon – and I think most of the people I sat close to felt the same way.”
