CONNECTION AND COLLABORATION:
The CHRISTCHURCH Morning Edition
Coffee. Conversation. Connection. Celebrate L&D Week with Christchurch's Learning Community.
There's something powerful about bringing learning and development professionals together around a breakfast table.
As part of NZATD's Learning and Development Week, join us for the Christchurch Morning Edition - a relaxed and welcoming breakfast gathering for L&D professionals from across Canterbury.
Whether you're working in organisational learning, capability development, training, facilitation, instructional design, leadership development, vocational learning, or workplace education, this is your opportunity to connect with others who are passionate about helping people learn and thrive.
In a profession where many of us spend our days supporting others, these events provide a valuable chance to pause, reflect, and connect with peers who understand the unique challenges and rewards of our work.
This is your chance to:
- Grow your professional network by meeting other L&D practitioners from across the region.
- Share ideas and experiences in an informal and supportive environment.
- Explore current challenges and opportunities facing learning and development professionals.
- Build meaningful connections that may continue long after breakfast is over.
- Celebrate Learning and Development Week with a community committed to lifelong learning.
We'll be gathering at the beautiful Edizi Café in central Christchurch, known for its excellent coffee, delicious food, and welcoming atmosphere. There is no formal agenda, presentations or pressure - just good conversation, shared experiences, and the opportunity to spend time with like-minded professionals.
Good to know:
- Open to members and non-members. Feel free to bring along a colleague, friend, or fellow L&D professional.
- Free to attend. Simply purchase your own breakfast or coffee on the day.
- Easy central city location at Edizi Café, 158 Gloucester Street, Christchurch.
Whether you're a long-time member of the L&D community or new to the profession, we'd love to see you there.
Come along, connect with your peers, share ideas, and help strengthen the future of learning and development in Aotearoa New Zealand.
We look forward to seeing you in Christchurch for Learning and Development Week 2026.
