Join us at the Engineering New Zealand Taranaki Branch Annual Dinner for great company, outstanding food and a rare opportunity to hear from one of New Zealand’s most influential voices in artificial intelligence.
AI is changing everything. Whether you’re designing infrastructure, managing teams, or planning your next career move, understanding how generative AI is transforming engineering practice is essential.
Our guest speaker, Matt Ensor, brings nearly 30 years of innovation experience. He led Beca’s investment in Generative AI, founded FranklyAI® (the first startup globally to integrate ChatGPT into Microsoft Teams), and now heads Kia Ora AI, driving real-world change across Aotearoa. As a member of Engineering New Zealand’s AI Advisory Committee, Matt is at the cutting edge of our profession.
Matt’s presentations are renowned for being insightful, practical, and inspiring, translating complex technology into clear opportunities for engineers. He draws on fresh case studies from NZ organisations and will share:
- How AI is already reshaping engineering workflows,
- The biggest opportunities (and challenges) ahead,
- Ethical considerations every engineer should know,
- What these changes mean for your career and practice.
Enjoy a premium dinner surrounded by fellow professionals. Expand your network. Leave energised with new ideas and actionable insights you can use immediately.
Attendance is $70 per person and $700 for a table of 10 people.
