Aspiring Conversations

Aspiring Conversations is a unique ideas festival set against the stunning backdrop of Lake Wanaka. Originally running as part of the successful Festival of Colour arts festival, Aspiring Conversations now has its own weekend – the next standalone festival will be held in 2020.
