Join us for our 2026 post-budget lunch, with Finance Minister Hon Nicola Willis.
As one of the first public appearances for the Minister following the delivery of the 2026 Budget, you will hear first-hand how the Government's fiscal decisions will impact family businesses leaders and the New Zealand economy.
This event is a great opportunity to gain an insider perspective on the headline outcomes of Budget 2026 for business, and with plenty of time allowed for Q&A and networking over lunch.
Light standing lunch will be provided.
