Sponsorship Makes it Happen

This event simply doesn’t happen without the generous support of our sponsors.

At Kiwi Dreaming, sponsors don’t just fund the day — they contribute by sharing insights, supporting community access, and helping people grow through knowledge.

If you're an industry partner keen to sponsor or present, the starting point is our Hiker package. It includes a speaking slot and a chance to support something bigger than a sales pitch.

To request Sponsorship options, email hello@kiwidreaming.nz and we’ll be in touch.
