There's been lots of positive feedback from the conference including this from Sacha Coles (Aspect Studios, Sydney) on his instagram account. "Mind blowing rich couple of days in Auckland made possible through keynote presentation at the NZ International conference. Many cultural lessons, gritty city bits, and fantastic co-presenters."
