We can’t confirm whether we are the first WordCamp to cater a traditional maori hangi for lunch, but we definitely are the first in 2017!

Attendees of WCAKL17 will be treated to an traditional hangi prepared offsite and served buffet-style on saturday for lunch. We’ve called in a few favours and Riki Bennett, the Hangi Master – will be serving up this awesome feast!

For more information on how a hangi is prepared or what it is, visit: http://www.newzealand.com/int/feature/maori-hangi/

Be sure to include any dietary requirements when purchasing your ticket – we will do our best to accommodate everyone.
