KIWI LANDING PAD PRESENTS:

To continue the momentum of our Sales & Marketing Jam Series, we’ve listened to your feedback and bring you the next session in our Kiwi Founder Series. The aim is to continue the conversation and bring you awesome people in market who are ‘doing it’ in a simple ‘crowdcast format‘ that allows access to targeted knowledge sharing without taking too much time out of your busy day.

Ask your burning questions, upvote questions you want to see answered, take part in polls and chat with the community while you listen. This is another of those ‘what you put in is what you get out’ type scenarios. We bring you the people; you ask what you want to know.

Join us online Wednesday April 26th @ 10am NZT to hear from Ezel Kokcu - Founder of Passphere & Co-Founder of Area360.

Tune in, or catch up later, we bring you a digestible format that you can listen to whilst at your desk working, or come back and watch the recording later.
