Presenters

Some very talented people came to The Colab. They shared with us their stories, experience, ideas, expertise and inspiration. 

We're grateful that them all for taking time from busy schedules, and in many cases travelling great distances, to join us in Whanganui; none of which would have been possible without the combined assistance our government and private-sector sponsors and supporters.

You'll see from the list below that we covered a lot over the conference three-day program (Click the link/name for a profile of each presenter)
