What's happened on Day 1? 

Here's just a snapshot of some of the activity across NZ. 

 

See Tomorrow First Techweek24 Launch event in Tāmaki Makaurau

Hosted by David Downs, MC extraordinaire and CEO of NZ Story. 

The event featured two incredible panels, talking about two of our powerhouse industries within the tech sector: gaming and space. 

L to R: Antony Blacket, BDM at Synty Studios; Mario Wynands, CEO, Pikpok; Sam Ramlu, CEO, Mighty Eyes, Method and Mad Carnival. 

From L to R: Morgan Bailey, Director of Comms, Rocket Lab; Stefan Powell, CEO and CTO, Dawn Aerospace

The conversations were both insightful and inspiring, but don't get FOMO, we'll be releasing them very soon as live episodes of the See Tomorrow First podcast. 

Thanks to everyone who joined us to kick off Techweek, and a massive thanks to our incredible partners, who have  made Techweek24 possible. We're looking at you Deloitte, NZTE, TechStep, and Media Design School (who got some well-deserved shout outs on the gaming panel!), and we can't forget our amazing Media Partner, Lumo.
