MLS Dinner: an evening with Tāme Iti
Wednesday 17 March 2027 · 7:00 PM · Hākari
A separate ticket, and open to everyone — delegates, colleagues, whānau and Whakaaro alumni. You do not need a conference pass to attend.
Sit down to dinner with Tāme Iti, Whakaaro and Māori leaders from across Aotearoa. Tāme speaks after the meal, away from the conference stage and off the conference agenda.
Route 01 · If you are coming to the summit
Add it to your ticket
Choose any summit ticket, then add the dinner at checkout. It sits on the evening of Day 1, after the networking drinks.
Add the MLS Dinner at checkout.
Route 02 · If you are not
Come to the dinner only
The dinner is sold on its own. No conference pass required — book a seat, or a table for your team, and come just for the evening.
Select the MLS Dinner without a conference ticket.
