“EANZ Summit 2025 Retrospective” by Gavin Bishop 🔹, Ruben Castaing
30 Nov 2025
Executive Summary The EANZ Summit 2025 brought together 70 participants at the University of Otago Christchurch Medical School for our inaugural national conference. The summit featured five speakers, cause area meetups, and ample networking time through a serial content format with dedicated breakout spaces. At its core it was a one-day event, but Friday and Sunday satellite events made it a 3-day extravaganza for many of us. The summit attracted a healthy mix of newcomers and established community members. Had an average recommendation score of 8.3/10. The 1-floor-only nature of the venue encouraged intermingling, the energy was high throughout the day, and the mix of experience levels fostered valuable connections. Short term outcomes: Attendees surpassed a $20k matching donation goal for global health charities (regular donors ineligible) Sparked the launch of the Christchurch AI Risk and Ethics Community One attendee reported they intended to take a GWWC trial pledge following the Summit The EA Auckland group started back up with a couple new events (after being dormant for over a year) Ruben got a job offer and is now gainfully employed at EquiStamp 1.
