TechXcelerate Aotearoa 2027 (CIO & CISO Leaders Summits)

TechXcelerate Aotearoa 2027 brings together the CIO Leaders Summit New Zealand and the CISO Leaders Summit New Zealand. Day one runs the two summits as separate programmes: the CIO summit on turning AI, cloud and data spend into measurable business value, and the CISO summit on cyber resilience, board accountability and AI-era defence. On day two the CIO and CISO communities come together for a shared programme on collaboration and board accountability. Themes across both summits include responsible and agentic AI, New Zealand's changing regulatory landscape, cyber resilience and incident-response leadership, data and AI sovereignty, optimising technology and AI spend, and talent and human-centric security, with an in-person international keynote planned.

The summit runs on Tuesday 6 and Wednesday 7 April 2027 at Pullman Auckland, corner of Princes Street and Waterloo Quadrant, Auckland. It is for senior technology and security leaders from end-user organisations, such as CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, CISOs and heads of technology, digital, architecture and security, who attend free as guests. Request a place through the event website's request-an-invitation form, after which the delegate team confirms your place. Solution providers and vendors are not eligible for guest passes and are directed to sponsorship options instead.
