NZ Business Connect members will have the opportunity to hear directly from leaders involved in one of Hamilton's fastest-growing residential communities when the organisation hosts its next Hamilton networking event at Te Awa Lakes on Tuesday 8 September.

Proudly sponsored by Megan Smith & Co. and Lodge Real Estate, the exclusive members-only event will be held at Te Awa Lakes, bringing together business owners, professionals and entrepreneurs for an evening of networking, insights and connection.

The event will feature guest speakers Megan Smith of Lodge Real Estate and Richard Coventry, Managing Director of Te Awa Lakes, who will share their expertise and perspectives on residential, lifestyle and development sales, as well as the continued growth and future vision for the Te Awa Lakes community.

“We’re really pleased to be supporting NZ Business Connect and hosting this event at Te Awa Lakes. It’s a great opportunity to bring local business owners and professionals together, share insights from the property and development sector, and showcase the growth and opportunities we’re seeing across the Waikato. We’re looking forward to connecting with the local business community and having some great conversations on the night,” said Megan Smith.

The event will provide members with the opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals while gaining valuable insights into one of the Waikato's most significant residential developments.

NZ Business Connect Founder Phillip Quay said the event reflects the organisation's commitment to creating opportunities for members to learn from experienced business leaders while building meaningful professional relationships.

“Every NZ Business Connect event is designed to bring together quality people, quality conversations and valuable business insights,” said Phillip.

“We're excited to welcome Megan Smith and Richard Coventry as guest speakers. Both bring extensive experience within the property and development sectors, and their knowledge will provide attendees with valuable perspectives on growth, opportunity and the future of development within the Waikato region.”

The event continues NZ Business Connect's strong programme of networking opportunities across Hamilton and beyond, connecting business owners with industry experts and creating an environment where collaboration and business relationships can flourish.
