Networking for Business Leaders

FUTURE OF BUSINESS

A Forum for Business Transformation Thought Leadership Growing our Economy Collaboration Opportunity

What is Future of Business?

Started in 2019 by Peter McKaskell, Future of Business began by bringing together Canterbury business leaders and executives for networking and sharing of ideas. Peter and the founding members could see the seeds of greatness and innovation within our business community and economy. We have all seen huge amounts invested in Canterbury over the last 10 years and one of the things it has given us is a platform to grow world leading businesses in our own “backyard”. Peter’s vision: a forum where leaders can share ideas, brainstorm, and collaborate. To provide an encouraging environment that supports economic growth for our businesses, our community and our region.

However, after news of a serious health challenge, Peter put the events on ice.

2020 has brought its own challenges; lockdowns; a first wave of redundancies; more expected and a strange new normal that is anything but normal.

Now more than ever is the time to kickstart Future of Business events. Wherever possible, events will be face to face, networking, speakers and panel discussions.

So, whether you are pivoting, transforming, kickstarting or simply keen to share ideas with like-minded business-people, Future of Business is the place for you.

Future of Business is not membership-based but thrives on repeat attendance. Join us for our next event (or two) and see for yourself how you can take part in the future of business in Canterbury.

What is a Business Jam?

Your time is precious, use it well. When planning your business events for the year, you shouldn’t have to choose between networking, education and family.

The Future of Business brings business leaders together to engage with their peers, catch up on the latest advances in technology, leadership and thought leadership, connect with other leaders about their own experiences and ideas.

The format is succinct. Wherever possible, events will be face to face, networking, speakers and panel discussions.

Future of Business is not membership-based but thrives on repeat attendance. Join us for our Business Jam (or two) and see for yourself how you can take part in the future of business in Canterbury.

New Location: Regus Business Lounge, Level 1, Awly Building, Cnr Armagh and Durham Streets, Christchurch
