Is AI bad for the environment, or part of the solution? The answer has changed faster than most headlines suggest.
Join us for a special edition Green Drinks to kick off our 2026 programme; 'AI and the Environment', with AI strategist and Curiosity founder Nadia Ellis!
https://curiosity.nz/
Fresh from TED AI in San Francisco, Nadia will bust common myths, update that much-quoted water stat, and share what’s actually changed in AI’s environmental impact, plus where AI could genuinely support sustainability.
Come for:
πŸ€– Myth-busting and up-to-date insights
πŸ€– A balanced look at AI’s footprint and potential
πŸ€– Open Q&A, bring your prickly questions
πŸ€– Good conversation and Green Drinks vibes
🍺 Relaxed evening, community atmosphere
🎟 Spots are limited, book early to secure your spot:

With thanks to our sponsors Shotover Jet, Queenstown Lakes District Council, and Sudima Hotel.
