V-Club : Forum for Innovative Thinkers

Started in July 2008, V-Club is a small gathering of creative thinkers based in Wellington.

It's an avenue for thought leaders in public, private & non-profit sectors to share ideas, learn from each other, make new connections and uncover potential projects and opportunities.

The sessions start at 5pm (usually on a Thursday) with a 20-30 minute presentation from a guest speaker and then switch to conversation and idea exchange mode. The sessions usually finish around 6:30pm ish.

A donation of $5 is appreciated (honesty-box) to cover drinks & nibbles.
