COMEDY SUMMIT GLOBAL 2026
Why This Summit Exists
26 August 2026 📍 AUT Auckland
For decades, organisations have focused on systems, processes, technology and strategy.
Yet the greatest driver of performance remains people.
Comedy Summit Global brings together business leaders, workplace experts and comedians to explore how humour can strengthen communication, improve wellbeing, foster innovation and create more engaged teams.
This is not a comedy show.
It is a leadership and workplace performance summit with a difference.
