Run by sustainability non-profit Wao Aotearoa, the summit is in its fifth year and gathering momentum.
Staffing remains the number one priority for Queenstown business with demand above pre-Covid levels. The latest JobFix data report shows there were 3,226 jobs advertised in the July-September quarter.
