Business on Toast with Bruce Gourley: What is AI and how will it affect us in the future? Friday 5 June 2026 Breakfast from 7am, coffee and tea from 6.30am The Stone Oven, 5 Clarence Street, Devonport $30 per person, payable at the door by EFTPOS

Our next Business on Toast brings together local business owners over breakfast for a conversation about something that's quickly becoming impossible to ignore: AI and what it means for the future of how we work.

We're delighted to welcome guest speaker Bruce Gourley, Head of Strategy at Hyper, New Zealand's leading retail marketing agency. Bruce brings over 20 years of brand and retail strategy experience across Africa, the Americas, the UK and Aotearoa, with clients ranging from Vodafone and AB InBev to Spark, Z Energy and The Warehouse Group. He's also the person quietly turning Hyper into one of the more advanced AI-native agencies in the country, so he knows this space inside out.

Expect a practical, down-to-earth conversation about what AI actually is, how it's already shaping business, and what it might mean for the years ahead. Plenty of time for questions too.

Numbers are limited so please book early. As this is a catered event, cancellations within 48 hours will incur the event fee.
