Revved.

NZ’s Business & Leadership Summit

1 Day >> 800+ Leaders & Executives
Strategy >> Innovation >> Connection

7th August 2025
Viaduct Events Centre

Where NZ’s boldest business minds gain an edge.

A single day to access the people, ideas, insights, and opportunities that give you an edge.

Leave thinking sharper, leading smarter, and moving faster.

Why Attend.
If you’re driving change, you need to be in this room.

Revved is where NZ’s growth leaders gather.
Founders, CEOs, board members, investors, political leaders, and rising talent, to tackle the big questions, spark new thinking, and accelerate opportunity.

The conversations that will shape NZ leadership in 2025 will happen here. Will you be in the room?

Here’s what we’re asking at Revved 2025:

  • Will AI drive transformational progress-or are we hurtling toward blind adoption without guardrails

  • What are the top 3 strategic imperatives you're driving over the next 18 months to stay ahead?

  • Where are the next-gen leaders placing focus, investment, and energy to lead at speed?

  • What do world-class teams get right about mindset, leadership, and trust?


Business and leadership in NZ are moving fast, but many leaders feel disconnected, behind, or stuck in reactive mode. Revved gives you the room, the people and the edge to lead forward, not fall behind.

Revved. Speakers ‘25

Not looking back. Not telling the same old stories.

Every speaker on the Revved. stage has been briefed:

Bring future-focused thinking. Share the ideas you haven’t shared before. Deliver insight, not hindsight.

Expect revolutionary ideas. Maverick perspectives. Knowledge you can use, fast.

This Summit is designed to rev you up — in every sense.
