Shaping Your Legacy

Event date: Thursday, 10 September 2026 | 02:00 PM to 08:00 PM

Join us in Whangārei for this annual community event designed to help you navigate later life and end-of-life planning in a way that feels informed, meaningful and manageable.

This FREE two-day expo brings together many local organisations, service providers, expert speakers and interactive workshops to help answer important questions like:

• Who can help me create an advance care plan?
• How do I protect my children and assets?
• How do I share my wishes with my family?
• How can I keep my finances safe?
• How do I navigate online services securely?

What to expect:

• Practical guidance on wills, estates, advance care planning, wealth management, online safety, healthcare, funeral planning, retirement living, travel support and more.
• Free talks and expert-led sessions across both days.
• Connect with local services, support groups and community organisations.
• Interactive experiences – storytelling, workshops, art exhibition and creative activities.
• On-site cafe and food trucks.

Why attend?

Whether you’re planning for yourself, supporting a loved one or simply curious about what’s involved, this event is about making it easier to start the conversation.
