Let’s Build Back Better Conference

About

COVID-19 has machine-gunned economies and the cultural norms that sustained it. There is no simple ‘exit strategy’ that eases us back in with hopes of continuity (Mark Florman, Centre for Economic Recovery). The Diplosphere & British High Commission, Wellington Let’s Build Back Better Conference brings leading thinkers and decision-makers together, to discuss how to turn the recovery into a real opportunity. Governments have committed $9 Trillion in response to the pandemic (IMF). Join us on 3rd August at Te Papa to build back better by creating more sustainable, resilient and inclusive societies!
