IBNNZ has been a great supporter of the GAA in New Zealand. We have gained many important contacts and benefited from some great opportunities due to our association with them. The regular events are a great way to connect with like-minded people within the Irish business community.

I’m impressed by the IBNNZ kaupapa, to inspire and empower. The Network provides wonderful opportunities to connect with a dynamic group of professionals, explore opportunities and exchange diverse views on the big issues affecting us all. Be you Irish, or not, you’ll always find a great sense of belonging and whanaungatanga

IBBNZ has been a fantastic opportunity to meet for regular networking events, with leaders in businesses across the country and even if you’re not Irish you are welcome. The team at IBBNZ are warm and friendly, and their events provide an excellent chance to meet with like-minded individuals and discuss topics relevant to today’s business world.

The IBNNZ is a great network for those wanting to connect on both a professional and social basis. I’ve found the speakers very informative, covering many sectors and topics and the events are always fun. The Irish community is strong in New Zealand and IBNNZ are strong in supporting this. Like most things, you will get out of it what you put in!
