BizFest 2026: Build Your Village

BizFest 2026 is Porirua's annual business festival bringing together 300+ business owners, sole traders, entrepreneurs, and emerging founders for a day of practical learning, genuine connection, and collective growth.

This year's theme, "Build Your Village," focuses on doing business the Porirua way—where whanaungatanga and kotahitanga drive strategy and operations. The festival features keynote speakers, interactive workshops led by local experts, structured networking sessions, and an exhibitor marketplace showcasing services and support for small businesses.

BizFest is designed for connection and action, not just inspiration. Attendees will leave with practical tools, genuine relationships, and clarity on how to grow their businesses through collective prosperity.

Presented by: Porirua City Council and Te Rūnanga o Toa Rangatira
