About this event

The Afropreneurs Summit Auckland is more than a business event—it is a unique gathering of entrepreneurs, professionals, investors, students, and aspiring business leaders who believe in the power of enterprise to transform lives and communities.
As New Zealand continues to embrace its growing cultural diversity, the Summit provides a platform where African innovation, Kiwi entrepreneurship, and global business opportunities come together to create meaningful partnerships and lasting impact.
Whether you are launching your first business, looking to grow an existing venture, or simply exploring new career and investment opportunities, the Summit offers practical knowledge that can help you move forward with confidence.

Participants will hear from successful entrepreneurs and industry leaders who have navigated the challenges of building businesses in New Zealand and beyond. Through engaging keynote presentations, panel discussions, and interactive networking sessions, attendees will leave with fresh ideas, valuable connections, and actionable strategies.
Auckland is home to one of New Zealand's largest and most diverse African communities, making it the ideal location for conversations about entrepreneurship, innovation, and economic empowerment.

The Summit celebrates the contributions of African entrepreneurs while fostering collaboration with the wider New Zealand business community. It is an opportunity to build bridges across cultures, discover untapped markets, and explore partnerships that can open doors locally and internationally.
Beyond the presentations, the real value of the Afropreneurs Summit lies in the people you meet and the connections you make. Every conversation has the potential to lead to a new client, business partner, mentor, investor, or lifelong collaborator. In today's interconnected economy, success is often driven by relationships as much as ideas, and the Summit creates an environment where those relationships can flourish.

Sip & Share Networking. Be a Disco Ball with Rochelle Moffitt

Precinct Flex Britomart Place (Formerly Generator), Auckland, New Zealand
In person

WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 21 – ROCHELLE MOFFITT | Founder, Decibel & Revved Be a Disco Ball: How to create your own luck, get noticed, and light up every room you walk into Rochelle Moffitt has spent the last few years turning her own name into her business - twice starting from nothing, and twice building it back bigger. She doesn't believe luck lands on you. She believes you create it. So many of us wait to be picked, noticed, or given permission before we show up fully - but Rochelle has built her whole career doing the opposite. This conversation is about what actually makes a room remember you, why some people just seem to have all the luck (spoiler… they made it), and how to stop waiting for your moment to start. ROCHELLE MOFFITT Rochelle knows what it takes to turn an empty room - or an empty bank account - into something that lights up. She's the founder of Decibel and co-founder of Revved, and she's spent years teaching women how to be seen, remembered, and sought-after, without shrinking to do it. This session unpacks Rochelle's own framework for creating luck, walking into a room like you own it, and lighting everyone else up while you're at it. Stop waiting for luck. Start designing a life you freaking love. You need to be here. Bring a notebook. Your Access Options Sip & Share ticket: $57 Sip & Share + Breakfast Combo: $125 An exclusive seat at every Sip & Share plus a private breakfast with the speaker, Rochelle, and 14 other women after each event – 9.45–11.15am. Deeper conversations. Direct connections. Real access. First in, first seated. Cheers, Rochelle Sip & Share 2026: Conversations Worth Waking Up For Sip & Share is where caffeine meets conversation and courage takes centre stage. Each morning brings a live, unscripted conversation with Rochelle and a remarkable woman reshaping how we think, lead, and live. It is connection with substance. You'll hear real stories from women who have been through the good, the great and the getting there. Those who
