Registration is free for people employed in New Zealand, Pacific Island and Australian public service organisations, with each registration vetted and approved by the organisers; private-sector attendees buy tickets, and non-sponsoring vendors are not eligible to book. It is designed for government leaders, technologists, policy makers and civic innovators.
