National Cyber Security Summit 2027

The National Cyber Security Summit 2027 brings together government, cyber security leaders, technology practitioners, business leaders, researchers and critical infrastructure operators to look at how to build a secure and resilient Aotearoa in an era of AI, geopolitical uncertainty and digital dependence. Presented by Tech New Zealand and Brightstar, the programme examines cyber security through three lenses: policy (national resilience, regulation, privacy and critical infrastructure), practice (threat intelligence, incident response, identity, AI security and cyber recovery) and people (leadership, security culture, workforce capability and the changing role of the CISO).

The summit runs 22–23 March 2027 at Tākina Wellington Convention and Exhibition Centre, 50 Cable Street, starting with registration at 8.30am on day one, with networking drinks that evening, and finishing at 3.15pm on day two. Super Early Bird tickets are $299 + GST (normally $1,999 + GST) when paid by 30 October 2026 and are available to enterprise and public-sector end-users; non-sponsoring vendors pay $3,500 + GST. It is aimed at cyber security professionals, technology leaders and policymakers from government, tech, finance and critical infrastructure.
