Emerge – What are young people getting out of Budget 2022 with Brad Olsen

Description

Emerge, the latest event series from the Waikato Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with McCaw Lewis Lawyers, is designed to inspire the next generation of the Waikato business community. If you are in the first 2-7 years of your career, this event is for you.
 
We are pleased to have Brad Olsen join us in-person to talk about Budget 2022 and what it means for young people.

At just 24 years of age, Brad is already one of New Zealand’s leading economic commentators. He will be joining us to give Waikato’s young professionals insight into what we are getting out of Budget 2022, and discussing what the government’s decisions mean for young people in our careers and personal lives.

Brad will also talk about his rise from Whangarei schoolboy to meeting the Queen a number of times, and to being a Principal Economist and Director at Infometrics and a regular presence on our TV screens.

Don’t miss this chance to hear from Brad and ask him questions about the budget, economy, tax, climate change policy, house prices and more!
