“Pineapple Pie & Network!”

"I love hearing other people's stories and finding out that we face similar challenges in the business world"

- Marina Taylor (Amplifyou)

This is our monthly networking meeting held at various sites around Christchurch and sometimes online. These meetings will feature a guest speaker from the Pacific Business/Professional community and allows time for a networking session over a deliciously made Pineapple Pie!
