PaperKite

A warm welcome to our new User Experience Lead, Kelsey! Kelsey has been leading mana-enhancing social and systemic change projects to help Aotearoa's most vulnerable people - and to be honest we had been keeping an eye on her for a long time. We are stoked she's picked us for her next chapter. It is honestly so exciting that this powerhouse wahine has joined PK!

PaperKite has been hiring absolute superstars into our tech team! A big shout out to two new Mobile Developers, Jacky and Vaughan who both specialise in Android. And kia ora to our newest Web & Platform Developer, Rebecca. We are so glad you chose us. We've embraced being able to offer roles to amazing experts based outside of our home base in Wellington, all three of these newbies are representing PaperKite from the South Island! We're so excited to learn more about Vaughan's passion for motorbikes, Rebecca's love for exploring the deep blue sea and hear more of Jacky's spectacularly bad dad jokes.

We welcomed a really enthusiastic bunch of people at the inaugural AI Strategy Wellington meetup at PaperKite, and now we're thrilled to announce the second meetup happening at 5pm on November 30th!

During our first meetup, we asked, "What should this group focus on?" Three key themes emerged:
1) Exploring practical applications of AI
2) Considering AI within a New Zealand context
3) Sharing and discussing exciting AI opportunities

In response, Rob Holmes and Tom Hovey are trying out a new format for the upcoming meetup. They'll bring in special guests to provide valuable business insights and set challenges that we can solve using AI.

Our first guest will be Courtney Johnston, CEO of Te Papa. She'll share the context and challenges faced by the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.

This evening is your chance to dive into the world of Te Papa, explore AI thinking, and, of course, connect with others keen to explore practical applications of AI in a NZ context. You'll also take home valuable insights to apply within your organisation.

Join us on Thursday, November 30th, at 5 pm at PaperKite for some great discussions, refreshments, and AI Strategy! 🤖🍷
