The Annual New Zealand Venture Capital Association Private Equity & Venture Capital conference is on 4 November 2009 in Auckland. Click here to see some more details. I strongly recommend it to anyone who is interested in the venture capital market in New Zealand. There is an interesting line up of speakers this year. Of interest will be a presentation from Bill English giving the political perspective on venture capital in New Zealand. As well as an economic briefing from John McDermott, Assistant Governor of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand. Click here to register.
