2050 EMBRACING THE CHALLENGE, CREATING THE FUTURE | 2021 TAITUARA CONFERENCE | CHRISTCHURCH (OTAUTAHI)
INVITATIONHaeri mai ki Taituarā,
Following our name change from SOLGM to Taituarā — Local Government Professionals Aotearoa in early 2021, we have also taken the opportunity to refresh the way we deliver our annual networking event – the Taituarā Conference (known previously as the SOLGM Annual Summit). Things will look a bit different, but our aim remains the same – to deliver an inspiring learning and networking event for our members, partners and friends from across the local government, central government and private sectors.
This year’s theme looks towards 2050: Embracing the Challenge – Creating the Future. We’ll explore challenges and look at how we can prepare, think differently and respond, in order to shape our future.
In this prospectus you’ll find a number of opportunities to connect with the local government sector, showcase your organisation, product or service and develop strong business relationships. Your support will contribute to the success of this event and enable us to deliver value for our members and the sector.
On behalf of the Taituarā Executive, I look forward to partnering with you and seeing you in Ōtautahi in September.
Ngā manaakitanga,
Phil WilsonTaituarā President

One of the best sponsorship experiences we have ever had.

Our kaupapaTaituarā is the national membership organisation for local government professionals. Our focus is on providing professional leadership, promoting innovation and excellence in management practice and developing local government capability to enhance service delivery to our local communities, shaping their future throughout Aotearoa.
Taituarā — Local Government Professionals Aotearoa was previously known as SOLGM. Taituarā means backbone in te reo Māori, and metaphorically describes unconditional support and strength. The new name, which was formally gifted to us by Ministers Hon Nanaia Mahuta and Hon Peeni Henare, reflects our organisation’s identity and commitment to promoting, supporting, and strengthening professional management and operations in local government.
Local authorities’contribution to AotearoaTogether, our local authorities (both the regional councils and the territorial authorities) make a significant contribution to Aotearoa’s economy, as per the following table: (30 June 2018)
Net worth (also known as “total public equity”) $123.6 billion
Operating Income $9.9 billion
Operating Expenditure $10.3 billion
Capital Expenditure (also known as “additions to fixed assets”) $4.9 billion
Value of Fixed Assets $123.4 billion
Employees (estimate excludes some CCOs)26,640 Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) staff
