This is a meeting of influential thinkers from various backgrounds to share ideas about how to ensure our democracy is preserved and enhanced.

With themes including participation, Pacific democracy, open government, inclusion and cohesion, access to power, and the democratic process this will focus on the issues that really matter in protecting our democratic framework in an increasing threatened environment.

With three prominent keynote speakers and six panel discussions this is sure to be a stimulating and provocative discussion. It will also be a great opportunity to network with others who are interested in democracy in New Zealand and the world.

Hosted by Hon Dr Duncan Webb MP and Dr Vanessa Weenink MP.
