FLINT (Future Leaders in Technology) is a programme run by TUANZ, where we’re working to create a group of young people with an interest in digital leadership that can share knowledge, learn from each other, and provide a support network.

After a roaring start in Auckland, Wellington and the Waikato, we’re excited to announce the launch of the FLINT programme in Christchurch. We’re kicking things off with an evening event where we are fortunate to have Andres Torres from Ericsson ANZA to share on the top 10 trends impacting consumers and their use of tech in 2018. Ericsson ConsumerLab has more than 20 years experience of studying people's behaviours and values, including the way they act and think about ITC&T products and services.

Come along to also hear more about FLINT and network with like-minded people. Drinks and nibbles will be provided!

Andres Torres is the Head of Marketing, Australia and New Zealand, Ericsson. He is based in Melbourne and has more than 15 years of experience in the ICT industry from strategic marketing to technical customer support. Having worked with the Ericsson services organisation for several years, Andres has participated in numerous telecommunications projects in four continents, adding unique skills to his technical, customer and cultural experiences.

Please note: All TUANZ evening events open at 5.00pm with the formal parts of the evening getting underway at 5.30pm
