Connect. Inspire. Thrive.

Join us for an evening of complimentary canapes and cocktails to celebrate life and the power of collaboration and connection in an uplifting experience with two of NZ’s most inspiring, motivating visionaries, to excite and ignite your passion for the future. Now, more than ever, we need to restore our joie de vivre and these two dynamos are the perfect antidote to 2020.

Cam Calkoen

Cam ‘AKA Mr. Awesome’ Calkoen is an Inspirational Speaker, recently awarded Speaker of the Year for 2020. 

Cam was born with Cerebral Palsy and his life has been “normal” for him since birth & his life would have carried on in whatever direction he chose to take it.

The fact that Cam chose to extend himself way out of his comfort zone to have done the two things doctors said he would never be able to do, and to a very high level (running & speaking) means the message he delivers is very powerful and unique.

In a few words “Cam delivers a unique message that inspires people to believe things are possible way beyond their thinking”.

He believes in a world where everyone is inspired to embrace their opportunity. Where our reality is no barrier in succeeding with our dreams, goals, aspirations and purpose…bending perception on what is possible when we reimagine.
