Aspiring Conversations is a unique ideas festival set against the stunning backdrop of Lake Wanaka, New Zealand.
This year’s programme includes 11 sessions across three days, covering everything from politics to mortality, taxation to religion, climate change to singing the blues.
Join us over the weekend of April 3 to 5 for some “time for thinking”!
