Bugger the boxing, pour the concrete any way
Ian was brought up in a small East Coast village on the North Island of New Zealand. He was seven when electricity arrived at his home. It was 1957. The telephone arrived a couple of years later.
He didn't know it at the time but three years after he got electricity at his house, New Zealand got its first computer.
Ian's story mirrors New Zealand's growth from its days as an agriculture-based economy. He laboured in the freezing works during the school holidays. Through the swinging 60s and 70s he was a singer in a rock and roll band, before being called up in the army.
By 1980, he had completed a law degree and started an entirely new career in television, where he was part of an industry that went from black-and-white film to colour video and on into the digital age.

What our past attendees said
"I've been to dozens of conferences and this has got to be one of the best. The sessions were informative and varied. The size was large enough to have attendees from all over the country but small enough to feel intimate. The venue and food were top notch. We are booking again for next year and we'll be bringing the whole team."
