Sarah Thomson – Lawyer and Environmental Advocate.

Stepping up our game on climate: how can Hamilton become a low carbon city. If the world is to limit global temperature rise to 1.5C, we must cut emissions in half by 2030. How are cities around the world leading the way in becoming more sustainable, and what lessons are there for Hamilton? What are the key actions Hamilton can take right now to respond to the challenge of climate change and become a more resilient city?


Phil Grey – Free FM

Phil Grey has dipped in and out of radio – Contact FM in the 80s, as manager of what’s now Free FM since the early 2000s, and as project leader of a nationwide podcasting platform that is on track to deliver 2.5 million podcast hits this year. What’s always driven him is a thirst for discovery – of new music, but more eagerly of obscure music of the past. His love for one era in particular underpins the success of a unique locally made podcast with followers around the world.


Matthew Bannister – Musician, Writer, Wintec lecturer

Matthew Bannister is a musician and writer. Matthew is part of band Sneaking Feelings, a band instrumental in defining the "Dunedin sound" with Flying Nun records.

Christina Campbell – Midwife adventurer

Hamiltonian of 23 years, a community midwife who has delivered over 1000 babies, was motivated to embark on this journey to ‘give back to the community’ when Community Midwifery is struggling to gain adequate support from Government resources. In my previous Tron-life I enjoyed extensive travelling, hiking, & participating in international expeditions such as the British ‘Operation Raleigh’, and ‘The Great Jukung Race’(2500km seafearing adventure in a primitive boat). This expedition was an opportunity to mix adventure with a purpose within an international community of Pilgrims.
