Festival for the Future is a national event for people passionate about a more vibrant, sustainable Aotearoa New Zealand. Imagine aspiring future leaders and experienced professionals getting amongst an inspiring schedule of guest speakers and workshops to develop new ideas & projects for a better world.
Featuring
Sam Johnson
As Sam puts it, he was sick of being stereotyped as a good-for-nothing ‘student,’ and decided to get out and do something – from a tiny idea grew a movement that changed a city. What can we do with the tools in our pockets?! Anything is possible. As 2012 Young New Zealander of the Year, Sam’s an inspiring young leader and we’re stoked to have him involved in the Festival!
Malcolm Cameron
Thinking back, Malcolm claims he passed nothing at school but wind & water. The self-confessed trouble maker went on to run a string of businesses before stepping into the community sector where he’s poured his heart and soul into creating life-changing opportunities for at-risk young people for the past twenty years. Malcolm was awarded 2012 Senior New Zealander of the Year Award, and is passionate about supporting the next generation.
