AI for Good Aotearoa NZ Lunch & Learn Series (December 2026)

The AI for Good Aotearoa NZ Lunch & Learn Series is a monthly series in which each session features a different speaker, startup or organisation working at the intersection of AI, sustainability and social impact. The series is designed to inspire discussion, surface new opportunities and deepen understanding of how AI can be used responsibly. The December session is held in person, with a lineup featuring Juhi Shareef, founder of AI startup Mission:Mārama, and Jade Tang-Taylor, co-founder and CEO of simpact AI.

It runs from 12pm to 1pm on Wednesday 2 December 2026 at AcademyEX, 99 Khyber Pass Road, Grafton, Auckland. The programme opens with a karakia and an introduction to the series, followed by an in-person mix and mingle, questions and reflections, and a look at upcoming learning opportunities. Entry is free, and it suits anyone interested in how AI can be used responsibly to support better outcomes for people and communities.
