Thank you for organising this upskilling opportunity for the Māori business community, I definitely left with learnings and some practical advice that I could apply to our organisation's online presence. I would definitely recommend Whāriki events to others.

I love attending Whāriki events, love the kaupapa Māori aspect. I’m always recommending [Whāriki] to friends and whānau who have pakihi Māori.

I found the whole workshop was so well organised - sessions were quick and punchy it held your attention and got straight to the point. Great presenters I didn’t want it to end.

One of the coolest things I learnt [in the workshop] was how to better utilise ads. I learnt things that honestly I don’t know how I would’ve learnt them otherwise. I’m stoked to be able to go home and put those things into practice and reach more people.

I love Whāriki. It’s a network that has enabled us to have access to lots of other Māori business owners, training and support that’s available – things that we actually need. The topic we discussed today is absolutely relevant to my business – it’s really good to hear from the experts on how we should be doing things.

I 100% reckon other businesses should join Whāriki because they’re a network, so you’re with likeminded people, and you get to go to awesome events. They do a variety of events where you learn different tools and techniques that you can implement within your pakihi.
