Wednesday 16th Sep, 2026 Emerge – MBP Speed Networking

Emerge Speed Networking + Wig Wednesday 🎉

Grab your wildest wig and your best elevator pitch – this one’s a double feature.

September is Children’s Cancer Awareness Month, and Chris from MBP Advisors is doing loads to support it, so we’re jumping on board too. The 16th is the official Wig Wednesday, so we’re dressing up for a good cause. Wigs are optional and definitely preferred!

Here’s the deal:

• 🥂 First drink and nibbles are on us
• 🌳 Out on the deck at Finn’s – heaters sorted, and with any luck spring’s finally playing along (bring a warm layer for ‘Justin Case’, just in case)
• 👛 Structured speed networking rounds – meet people you actually need to meet, minus the awkward small talk loop
• 💇 Prize for the best wig on the night
• 🎟️ Raffle for anyone who donates on the night: Chris will have a QR code for donations, with a prize up for grabs
• 🙌 New to Taupō, new to your role, or just new to Emerge? You’re exactly who this is for

From New to Known – come meet your people, wig optional (but strongly encouraged).

Massive thanks to the excellent folk at MPB Advisors and Accountants for their support, sponsorship and mad ideas!
