LinkedInLocal Auckland is where online connections become real conversations. Four times a year we bring together hundreds of professionals from across Aotearoa for an evening built on genuine connection. No awkward icebreakers. Just good people, good energy and a room that feels welcoming from the moment you walk in.
Our speakers are all very different, which is exactly why the sessions land so well. In recent years we have welcomed voices like Sir Ian Taylor, Justin Kabbani, Lisa O’Neill, Lance Burdett and Jemarl Paerata. Each one has brought something unique. Storytelling, strategy, humour, insight, challenge and warmth. You never quite know what shape the inspiration will take, and that’s part of the magic.
For this event, we’re thrilled to welcome Alicia McKay as our keynote speaker. Alicia is known for her sharp insight into leadership, resilience and human behaviour, delivered with honesty, intelligence and warmth. Her work resonates deeply with people navigating complexity, pressure and change, making her a powerful voice for this community and this moment.
Tickets include light food and drinks, including local wines, chilled beer, non and low alcohol options, mocktails, and the occasional surprise from our drink partners, plus one of our much-loved gift bags filled with products from local New Zealand brands.
We also have an online community of more than 3,000 Auckland professionals who stay connected between events. It keeps the momentum going and helps new relationships grow long after the night ends.
Whether you come to learn, to connect, or simply to feel part of something uplifting, you’ll leave feeling better than when you arrived. This is community in motion.
Join us for an evening that strengthens your network, builds confidence, and adds real value to your professional life.
