An invitation-only event, Morgo is the annual get together for people actively building high-growth companies into the world. It is attended by New Zealand's top export-focused technology entrepreneurs, and always features speakers of the highest quality. This year's opening address was by Rod Drury (Founder and CEO of Xero.com) - who was one of our first Segway PT customers in 2004, and a fearless member of NZ's Pole Blacks Segway Polo team.
