A brief summary of the recording is: The recording captures an introduction provided by Kevin Haunui and Tīwhanawhana prior to the festival's official commencement. The introduction involves a ceremonial aspect, in which the speakers present a rākau/talking stick, which symbolically embodies both speaking and listening roles. The rākau was entrusted to the speakers during a gathering in Northland the previous year. Its purpose during the festival was to act as a witness to the conversations and discourses of the event, even in the absence of the holders. The rākau was emphasized as an elemental piece that would absorb the essence of the discussions throughout the conference, thereby interweaving the cultural significance of dialogue and active listening within the gathering. The full transcription of the recording follows.  It includes timestamps every thirty seconds in the format [HH:MM:SS].  The transcription begins:  Here with, and we've been asked by the organisers to open the conference here today.
