The Go-To Meeting Place for Aotearoa’s Digital Public Sector Community
20-21 MAY 2025
TE WHANGANUI-A-TARA PŌNEKE / WELLINGTON
We’re excited to welcome you back to the annual DigiGov Leaders Summit, which will be co-located with the CyberGov Leaders Summit as part of the GovTech Aotearoa series.
The 2025 Summit will delve into how Government CIOs and IT leaders are strategically leveraging AI alongside the transformation of mission-critical IT and service delivery to achieve better citizen outcomes in today's rapidly evolving technological landscape. To succeed, CIOs must commit to a consistent pace of innovation, build resilience and adaptability, and develop vision of long-term success towards a finishing line which is almost certainly going to change.
Over two days, attendees will connect and exchange ideas, best-practices and cutting-edge solutions with thought leaders, leading case studies, their peers, and tier-one vendors. The goal is clear: to enable government IT leaders to deliver value-driven, efficient services for improved citizen outcomes.
Come along to the Summit to forge meaningful connections with other industry professionals, discover cutting-edge solutions to transform your digital transformation journey, determine your organisations competitive edge and drive it forward in 2025.
We look forward to meeting you in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Pōneke / Wellington in May.
