EMA Connect Tauranga (October 2026)

Reserve your place now for the next EMA Connect breakfast workshops, returning soon.

Who should attend:

These sessions are free for EMA Members and provide peer-to-peer learning and meaningful networking opportunities for Bay of Plenty HR professionals, people leaders and small business owners.

What you’ll get out of it:

Led by EMA consultant Chris Longman, you’ll collaborate, unpack people challenges and return to work with practical learnings to lead a resilient, engaged workforce prepared for change.

EMA Members say:

"I always get a perspective that I wasn't aware of. I enjoy hearing the challenges or insights across industries in these interactive sessions, so I'm not operating in a vacuum."

"Very helpful and interactive. The presenter was excellent - made the talk feel like a conversation, not a lecture."

Chris brings 15+ years of experience in partnering with businesses for HR and employment relations and will share real-world stories and examples you can learn from while networking with your peers.

You’ll hear more about the workshop topics soon, but these regularly hit capacity, and we don’t want you to miss out – register today to lock in your next Connect.
