An uprising of creative minds.
The brainchild of Hamish Pinkham, one of New Zealand’s most accomplished music industry players, and supported by leading individuals in New Zealand’s entertainment sector - The Phoenix Summit has been established to unite New Zealand’s creative industries and create a platform for meaningful conversations around how we can use our platforms to achieve social change.
The aim of the Phoenix Summit is to create the platform for NZ's creative professionals to connect, get inspired and rise up to create change. It is an opportunity to advance and influence the future of New Zealand by bringing together those playing an active role in shaping it.
