Shaping the Future of Culture and Heritage
NDF Whanake \ Evolve is a future and technology conference for the Aotearoa cultural sector. We will explore how to tackle global challenges like climate change, inequality and injustice, how to leverage technology to become sustainable and resilient, and how we can create impact that fosters action and stronger communities.
The conference will be held in-person, over 2 days followed by a day of workshops, with presentations available on-demand following the event.
