Description

Wao Summit 2026 - Resilience in Action

Connecting people, ideas and action to help communities understand change, navigate complexity and shape a thriving future.

Wao Summit is a five day event that brings together people and organisations committed to building a thriving, resilient future for our communities, businesses and environment.

Explore the opportunities, challenges and solutions shaping the future of business, building, climate, artificial intelligence, energy, food systems and community wellbeing.

Across Queenstown and Wānaka, experience expert international speakers, practical workshops, thought provoking films and behind the scenes tours that showcase innovation, leadership and resilience in action.

Wao Summit 2026 explores how we can navigate change while creating the conditions for people and nature to thrive for centuries ahead. The future will not be defined by the challenges we face, but by how we respond to them.

A five day event not to be missed!
