CEO invite: A day in the life leading New Zealand's only aluminium smelter
New Zealand Aluminium Smelter, Tiwai
This August, we're heading south to offer a small group of Forum CEOs a rare opportunity to go behind the gates at teh New Zealand Aluminium Smelter (NZAS) in Southland.
Tiwi Point is home to New Zealand's only aluminium smelter - a remote site located on a peninsula in the Deep South with unique operational challenges.
Join us for a half-day tour at NZAS to get an inside look of how the smelter operates. Over lunch, you will hear directly form their Chief Executive Chris Blenkiron, HSE Business Partener Craig Scarlett, and the senior leadership team as they share the leadership challenges and lessions of running a high-hazard operation in one of the most isolated corners of the country.
Special thank you to Chris, Craig and the NZAS for this unique opportunity and their hospitality.
This event is strictly limited to 20 CEOs, please register early to secure a spot.
