Earlybird ticket and program release for The Wao Summit 2021 opens Tuesday, 27 July. The fourth annual Wao Summit is ready to launch early bird ticket sales on 27 July. The Summit, founded in 2018, has hosted over 60 events in the last three years, with over 3,000 participants in both Wānaka and Queenstown. Its mission is to inspire, educate and enable communities to accelerate towards a carbon zero, regenerative future and beyond. "With initiatives such as SUCFree Wānaka, zero waste building workshops and the Wānaka Community Workshop being sparked or launched from previous summits, we're looking forward to seeing what will come out of this one!" said Monique Kelly, Program Director. Bringing in groups and individuals from around the country, “the emphasis of this year will be on the cross-pollination of ideas, actions and initiatives to support and accelerate change from the grassroots up” Kelly says.

This year the group anticipates a surge of attendance, both locally and nationally, from grassroots organisations to businesses, groups and individuals, and looks to strengthen Wānaka’s standing as a place of learning. A staggering 40+ events are planned for the week, with a wide range of focus to enable diversity and inclusivity, and an emphasis on workshops so that attendees take away the tools they need to create positive change. This year Wao will be releasing a special 'Your Future Pass' which will give ticket buyers access to a number of talks, workshops, tours and films at a discounted rate, as well as an extensive youth program which will be run in collaboration with the local schools. Kelly says “our mission is to enable change at all levels of the community, from zero to 99 years, and to do that we need to make our events as relevant and accessible as possible.”
