This year's season of LATE at the Museum events welcomes a year-long investigation into the theme of innovation – featuring panel discussions with this country’s leading innovators and music by our top performers.

If there’s one thing New Zealanders agree on, it’s the need for some smart thinking about the future of our economy. LATE 02 brings together three of the country’s leading economic thinkers, Tim Hazledine, Brian Gaynor and Susan St John, and asks them to dissect our financial history, then mark out their vision for a prosperous economic future. The night’s entertainment includes New Zealand songstress Jan Hellriegel, and The Bellbirds, a band featuring the talents of Don McGlashan and SJD’s Sean Donnelly.

Associate Professor Susan St John is co-director of Auckland University’s Retirement Policy and Research Centre. She’s also the economics advisor to Child Poverty Action Group.
