I finished off the run up to Easter by attending CECC’s annual Prime Minister’s Breakfast event – 700 of Christchurch’s business community attended at Wigram Air Museum to hear John Key deliver an update on rebuild progress and generally preach (drily) to the converted. Good to see so many of the tech community out in force as well.
Not sure if everyone saw this new video below which was shown at the event, but the latest rebuild video put together supported by Ian Taylor’s ARL is included below – includes a nice plug for EPIC!
