What to expect
Day 1 - Conference Day
The Big Picture
Join us on Day 1 for loads of learning and big picture thinking. Speaker sessions and panels are themed to:
-
Zero Waste & Climate
-
Zero Waste & Justice
-
Zero Waste Towns Regions & Cities
-
Zero Waste Economics
Wrapping up the day is an evening open-to-the-public expert and political panel with all the Wellington locals who are working alongside us for a better world, more info here.
This day is designed to widen our lens and learn more of what our mahi contributes to on a national and global scale. We hope you leave feeling inspired and hopeful.
Day 2 - Network Day
Our Piece in the Puzzle
Join us on Day 2 for closer connection to our Zero Waste Network mahi. We’ll hear some inspiring stories from members, there’ll be time to concentrate on specific waste streams (think e-products, C&D, textiles, organics), time to collaborate in separate work streams, and an opportunity to Q&A the Zero Waste Network team and hear updates on our current projects.
This day is perfect for diving deep into our mahi alongside others, inspired from day 1.
Let’s ideate, collaborate and come away feeling connected, supported and encouraged.
Communal Dinner
Top the night off with our special network evening where we can take time to celebrate, share stories, take selfies and enjoy a relaxed evening together. We are taking over The Hunter Lounge for a three-course buffet dinner on the Zero Waste Network (love #everybite), and there'll be a cash bar with lots of local, low-waste drinks.
Day 3
Site Tours
Take the talking into walking with your new network buddies on site tour day. We will be visiting the plethora of zero waste initiatives in the Wellington region.
There are three tour options on offer:
-
CBD walking tour
-
Walking & biking tour
-
Community recycling centre van tour
All tours will begin their day at the new Te Aro Zero Waste, Aotearoa’s most urban resource recovery centre.
Please note: We have limited spaces for each tour so get in quick to secure your spot.
