A completely different event.
Same summit. An entirely different day. Built with performance specialist Luke Taylor from Taylored, so you arrive optimised, stay sharp when it counts, and leave having performed at your best.
Why performance belongs at a safety summit
When a critical risk escalates, the outcome comes down to a human making a decision under pressure. The VIP Performance Experience is built to put you in the state to make that call at your best, all day.
"At the heart, it's human-centric. It's about the human who has to make the decision under pressure. The Performance Lab gives you the capacity and capability to make those decisions at your best."
"Everyone shows up to an event differently. The Performance Lab lets you reset from the state you're in to the state you need to be in. Once you understand these levers, it's a game changer."
Hear it from Luke
Matt sits down with Luke Taylor on what the Performance Lab actually does, and why it belongs in a room full of safety leaders.
What your VIP seat includes
- Everything in General Access, the full day of keynotes, workshops, the expert panel, networking and catering.
- The VIP dinner the night before, 14 October, with keynote guests and a performance priming session led by Luke.
- A Sleep Pack delivered to your door in advance, so you arrive on the day already optimised.
- All-day access to the VIP Performance Lab. Luke delivers personalised 3 to 20 minute resets on demand, whenever you need to lift energy, focus or calm.
- Priority seating throughout the main event.
- 12 months premium membership inside the NZHSP Connect community.
It starts the night before
On 14 October, VIP guests gather for a dinner with keynote speakers and a performance priming session with Luke. You walk into the summit the next morning already connected, already primed, already ahead.
Meet Luke Taylor
Luke Taylor is a human performance specialist and the founder of Taylored, where he helps people show up and perform at their best when it matters. At Safety Summit 2026 he brings the Performance Lab to life, giving VIP guests the tools and technologies to reset, refocus and lead at their peak across the day.
Thinking about General Access?
For just above the price of a standard seat, VIP is a different day entirely. And once General Access rises to $690 on 1 September, VIP is only $150 more. Twenty-five people will do this properly. The rest will wish they had.
