Subject: EY Tax Directors Forum - Monday 29 April
Hi Simon,
EY is hosting it’s annual Tax Directors Forum on the Monday 29 and Tuesday 30 April this year. This is
the pre-eminent event for tax directors across the NZ market, and is an open forum generally with
many different panels and presentations.
We would love if you were able to attend for a part of this, and we would work with you regarding
the best forum/approach for your time joining us, if you were able to attend. This could take the
form of an opening plenary / panel, a session through the afternoon, or a key note speech for the
evenings dinner – whichever worked best for your timing and how you would like to engage.
The event will this year be held in the Holy Trinity Cathedral, Parnell, Auckland. We start the event
with an informal ‘walk and fork’ lunch, and then with kick off with our opening plenary around
1/130pm, and the event then continues for the afternoon of the Monday, into the evening, and the
carries on Tuesday morning (but I appreciate Tuesday is a sitting day).
Please let me know if this would be possible for you to attend and we can liaise with you/staff as to
under the Official Information Act 1982
the content/approach.
Many thanks for your consideration.
Regards,
Brad
