TupuToa's Māori and Pacific leadership summit listed for Auckland in 2026

MICE editorial — 06 August 2026 Auckland Tier C

TupuToa, the Māori and Pacific leadership and careers non-profit, is listed for a 2026 Auckland leadership summit, though no independent source confirms the August date; its past summits have drawn hundreds of Māori and Pacific professionals to the Viaduct Events Centre.

TupuToa, a Māori and Pacific leadership and careers non-profit, runs a leadership gathering in Auckland that brings together its intern cohort, alumni and invited Māori and Pacific professionals. Its inaugural TupuToa Summit drew more than 500 attendees to the Viaduct Events Centre in Auckland's CBD on 12 February 2024, with keynote speakers, panels, networking and a business expo, according to the organisation's own event listing, and in 2025 TupuToa held a Leadership Wānanga at Foodstuffs North Island in Māngere. A 2026 edition dated 13 August in Auckland could not be independently confirmed at the time of writing — TupuToa's summits have historically been held in February — and no organiser or aggregator page for a 2026 summit was locatable.
