Good morning, BGS NZ members!
Last year, we introduced the BGS Member Spotlight initiative. An initiative to share the stories of our members living in NZ and abroad. The Member Spotlight last year was in the form of articles. Then COVID hit and pulled energy and resource from being able to publish those articles on a regular basis. This year, we are returning, and as with many things, we are now sharing member stories in the format of Zoom conversations. With this first Member Spotlight video, April Shwe-Paul talks with Mark Barboza, a passionate New Zealander currently based in Toronto. Having traveled the world and progressed his corporate career in PwC, Mark shares some of his perspectives on work, life, and continual learning. A big thanks to Mark for taking the time to share his story with us, the BGS NZ community. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SE5olllxss If you would like to share your story on Member Spotlight, email us at bgsnewzealand@gmail.com. Dear BGS Members, Our friends at AUT have invited us for another spectacular event - 'New Zealand Capital Markets Symposium 2021'. Entry to all BGS members is free! AUT cordially invite BGS members to attend the NZCMS 2021 at AUT City Campus, WA224 on 10 June 2021, from 12 noon to around 6 pm. One of the key objectives at the Auckland Centre for Financial Research is to bridge the gap between academia and the finance industry in New Zealand by engaging in debate, discussion and research that is relevant to New Zealand. To achieve this objective AUT hosts the New Zealand Capital Markets Symposium, aimed at bringing together academics and industry practitioners to discuss the current issues in financial markets, regulations, corporate governance, climate change risk, fraud, etc. in New Zealand. Please see the attached programme or links for more information. 
 Woop Woop!!
To celebrate, re-connect, and to discuss BGS NZ ideas and initiatives for 2021, we are holding an in-person networking event on April 30th from 6pm - 8pm at Lula Inn, Viaduct, Auckland CBD. One will have the opportunity to interact with fellow members, build new networks, know more (and be part of) about BGS 2021 initiatives and exchange good banter Register to attend by sending a confirmation email to bgsnewzealand@gmail.com, or click the Facebook link and register. https://fb.me/e/4AhLH5pXq Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Many of recently the recent BGS San Francisco's Event 'The Future of the World with AI' and it was a fantastic event that imparted knowledge about AI, its current uses and the future potential of it. For those that wanted to attend but could not need not worry as the video for the event is now available and can be accessed using this link - https://lnkd.in/gmR7dqg Please note that the first 10 mins have been cut out due to recording issues at their end. Hope you enjoy it too! Kind regards, BGS NZ Alumni Team #ai #innovation #artificialintelligence #machinelearning #thefuture  Dear BGS Members,
Our good friends at University of Auckland have invited us for a special and interactive seminar on International Women's Day! The theme for 2021 is #ChooseToChallenge. They’ve organised a panel of female academics, students and alumnae to share their thoughts on what the day means to them. According to the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report 2020, New Zealand ranks 6th in the world for gender-equality, on economic, education, health and political criteria. However, we still lag behind when it comes to wage gaps between men and women, (38th in the world), and women in senior roles (26th in the world). Join the University of Auckland Business School for an interactive lunchtime panel discussion this International Women’s Day, Monday 8 March, to hear from academics, students and alumnae. Come along and join the conversation.

It was amazing to get to know each one of you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all 🎄 Have a safe one out there and see you again in 2021!
