WhY AttendeES ARE COMING

“Last years event was a real eye-opener for my team to begin to understand the scope and scale of change which AI is enabling in both our personal and business lives. We’re looking forward to attending again in 2024 to build on that knowledge and benchmark the progress we’ve already made against current best practice and find out what is on the horizon.” (March 2024)
-Kevin Obern, Managing Director NZ, Officemax

“I’m attending the M2 AI Summit to explore cutting-edge AI technologies and their implications for the future. This event aligns with my passion for innovation and my commitment to advancing human potential through technology. It’s a valuable opportunity to connect with other visionaries and discuss the role of AI in shaping our world. Engaging in these conversations helps guide my efforts in developing sustainable and beneficial AI solutions across my ventures.” (March 2024)
-Mark Smart, National Sales Manager, Unicom Security

“Given the significant disruption by AI in the education space within a short six months of ChatGPT being accessible in market, it was imperative that our organisation understood the directions of travel in this space. The 2023 summit covered a broad spectrum demonstrating the application of generative and other forms of AI, and fostered interesting discussions on how we might utilise AI as a tool to enhance customer experiences and improve productivity. Highly recommended!!” (March 2024)
-Yvonne Lim, Director, Tui Tuia, University of Auckland

“We will be attending to understand the role AI has in business along with the security aspects and concerns that it brings.  Understand its use in problem solving or value creation and knowing where to focus.  AI has garnered much conversation over the last few years so seeing how other companies are utilising the tech, and learning from mistakes or challenges will be interesting.”
-Emma Burte, Head of Product and Data, Kiwi Property Group (March 2024)

“I attended the M2 AI Summit in 2023 with the Les Mills CEO and Head of Tech. We all found it be a great showcase of how a wide range of businesses are embracing AI to drive meaningful change. On the back of last year’s insightful experience, the CEO is taking a number of his SLT members to the 2024 Summit.” (March 2024)
-Dione Forbes-Ryrie, Director, Les Mills
