Connect with Government CIO and Senior Technology leaders seeking innovative solutions to drive value-driven digital transformation for enhanced citizen outcomes

20-21 MAY 2025
TE WHANGANUI-A-TARA PŌNEKE / WELLINGTON

The 8th Annual DigiGov Leaders Summit NZ is the leading event for Aotearoa New Zealand's public sector IT leaders and vendors to address the ever-evolving challenges facing the next 12 months and offers an immersive business experience for CIOs and their teams.

Featuring open-plan learning, networking, breakout zones, and receptions, the DigiGov Leaders Summit provides an engaging environment to forge industry connections and partnerships. Over two days of interactive sessions and networking opportunities, you’ll gain valuable insights, build key business relationships, and effectively address current business challenges.

The theme for 2025: Navigating operational & technological complexities in an AI-driven environment to maximise value creation and citizen outcomes

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.
