The Tauranga Round Table (The Report)
The Sebel Trinity Wharf hosted the Forum
I attended the Regional Business & Central Government Economic Forum as planned in Tauranga yesterday. Central government was well represented with Helen Clark leading a large delegation of senior Ministers.
I had pre-selected my two preferred workshops: Tertiary Education, research and development chaired by Dr Michael Cullen and Export Year 2007, chaired by the Hon Trevor Mallard.
Both sessions were closed so no comment possible. It was good however to meet Doug Sutton, Deputy Vice Chancellor of the University of Waikato and catch up with Roy Simpson of Origen Technology. It's good to see a local Tauranga ICT company doing so well.
The occasion actually lent itself to some good networking, so I obliged. As to HC, we shook hands, she looked at my lapel and said: 'Ah, a consultant'. A consultant? Gutted!
