Hello PLUG members; Steve Pavarno of ManawaTech invites us all to the Mega Meetup in May. Details are:
When: Thu 23rd May 2024, 5:30 pm–8:30 pm NZDT
Where: Victory Venue, 20 Rangitikei Street, Palmerston NorthOur twice-a-year meetup for all the meetups in the city. Tickets are essential as we are nearing venue capacity.
Daniel Merriott, Managing Director at the Digital Skills Agency will talk about mental health in the tech/digital sector post COVID and some steps each of us can take to look after ourselves and each other. We’ll share this through a short interactive game-style session to give us all a fun Thursday evening energy boost.
The Digital Skills Agency focusses on the people in tech – whilst our work is usually centred around capability and skills development, we have the privilege of having 1-on-1 conversations, and leading workshops with many hundreds of IT and digital professionals every year. It’s clear from our conversations and experience that we all need to improve our skills to not just to survive, but to thrive, in an industry that continues to see burnout, stress, anxiety and other mental health issues.
This event includes
- Short interactive presentation on mental health in tech
- Marketplace stands (UCOL, Young Chamber, Network of Skilled Migrants, The Factory, IT Professionals and many more)
- Employment corner: connecting employers and seekers
- Meetup information
- Networking opportunties

This is a mostly social event. Come along to make new connections in the local tech scene, meet old friends, and find out whats happening around here.
Attendance costs NZD$10.
