Gen Z

Discovering the zing of the content kings
Wednesday 21 October 2015, 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm @ Vodafone, 20 Viaduct Harbour Avenue, Auckland City

Today’s post-millennial GenZ kids are growing up with social media in their back pockets, using it to start their own businesses and launch into international fame. Born in 1995 or later, many of these bright young things have been making their own media content since before they could tie their own shoelaces. 

Join our diverse panel for a upbeat discussion of what makes Gen Z tick on the interwebs, which channels they like best, and what consuming a constant flow of micro-media moments might be doing to our brains. 

And don’t be late! Because this month we need to start a bit earlier to accommodate one of our most extraordinarily talented panellists who has to shoot off to her next big thing.
