Sponsor NZ Tech Rally 2026
Welcome! Thank you for your interest in sponsoring NZ Tech Rally 2026.
After two hugely successful conferences in 2023 and 2025, we’re back at TĀKINA in Wellington and we’re growing, with space for over 600 attendees.
We create a platform for Kiwi stories
NZ Tech Rally is one of the best ways for Kiwi tech enthusiasts to share their ideas with the community. Most other conferences promote international speakers and overseas case studies these are great too, but they often overlook the amazing work happening in our own backyard.
NZ Tech Rally aims to fulfil our vision by:
showcasing NZ ingenuity in tech
providing opportunities to grow our community’s network and impacå
creating safe, inclusive, accessible, and diverse educational contenå
sharing Kiwi adaptations of good software practices and emerging technologies.
We also record all presentations and make them available on our YouTube channel. This enables a wider audience of tech enthusiasts to learn about the great work of Kiwi software companies.
A different kind of tech conference
Our vision is to make New Zealand’s software sector the most vibrant and diverse in the world.
To achieve this, our annual conference is designed to unite all members of the team, and to promote diverse voices in our industry.
We walk the talk when it comes to diversity.
We ensure at least 50% of speakers are women and people from minority backgrounds
We pay all speakers and panellists in recognition of the work that goes into preparing information for the community.
