About
Now, more than ever, we need wild hearts to pave the way. Every one of us must set to work on building the future. Sunrise exists to inspire the next generation of wild hearts.
Sunrise started in 2014 when Blackbird’s founders Rick and Niki pulled the whole thing together in six weeks. With limited resources, experience and time, the whole community came together to make Sunrise happen.
This year, we are bringing Sunrise to Wellington for the first time, featuring speakers and themes designed to provoke debate and spark ideas. New City. New venue. New programming. And a magical collection of founders, performers, artists and inventors we can’t wait to share with you.
