About the event
In August 2026, the Korea New Zealand Business Council (KNZBC) launched K-NZ Mix at Six, a new professional networking series designed to deepen engagement with corporate members and grow the Korea-New Zealand professional network in Auckland. KNZBC plans on making K-NZ Mix at Six a regular event for the community, and to continue to build the connection between Korea and New Zealand.
On the day, around 60 professionals from a wide range of backgrounds attended the event to connect across industries, share insights, and build relationships. Three guest speakers were also invited to share their insights and experiences.

Gareth Coleman shared KNZBC's journey since 1978, reflected on his time as Chair since February this year, spoke about the Leadership Delegation to Seoul last June, upcoming Korea New Zealand Forum on 22 October this year and outlined our plans to strengthen the connection between Korea and New Zealand in business.
Liam Sceats - Kiwi Racing Driver | Entrepreneur
Liam Sceats spoke about his global motorsport career, his recent win in Korea in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia series, and the partnership opportunities ahead of his planned trip to Seoul this October. He brings both a young racer's passion and a genuine business mindset to building these opportunities.
