Hard-ly Speaking Christchurch

Men of Ōtautahi. Hard-ly Speaking is back! As always, our mission is create a space for men to connect, celebrating the frank conversations that spark social change.

The format is simple – six speakers, six diverse stories and a cruel four minute speaking time. It's fast, furious, and guaranteed to get you thinking differently.
Your ticket price also includes bevvies and bites from legendary local businesses ('cos we're all about having a good time).

Check out the full speaker line up on our website, and keep your eyes on our social pages for all the updates!

Once again, we're partnering with PlaceMakers Canterbury. These legends have been building communities for over 35 years, and their charity – The PlaceMakers Foundation – supports communities at a grassroots level through various local projects. With this in mind, we're putting together a raffle of epic proportions.

"We’re committed to supporting Hard-ly Speaking because we’ve seen first hand the impact it has on our builders. When you have a diverse group of men standing up to share something personal, that has a ripple effect. In our industry, that’s a mission worth supporting.“ – James Munro, PlaceMakers Canterbury

Blokes – consider this your official invitation. Please join us at the Christchurch Art Gallery for another stand out evening of food, drinks and frank conversation.
