The annual Techweek programme is open for event submissions from any interested individual, group or company nationwide.
The programme focuses on two broad audiences:
General Public | it's time to show New Zealanders the value and potential impact technology on their lives and on Aotearoa's future prosperity.
Tech Ecosystem | Techweek is our annual opportunity to connect across the New Zealand tech sector to grow our capability and celebrate our success.

Becoming a Techweek event organiser means connecting with a nationwide network of inspiring tech leaders and enthusiasts who are helping strengthen the innovation ecosystem in New Zealand.
The Techweek platform harnesses the power of the community to make your event the best it can be, by connecting you with the people you need to make it happen (whether you're after a free venue, cool speakers, or even someone to bring along the coffee).
