We are back with a new name but the same winning formula. The Canterbury Tech Summit, formerly Canterbury Software Summit, is one of New Zealand’s leading tech conferences, with over 500 attendees. We are once again looking forward to bringing you local and international speakers that will inspire and encourage you to approach work in new and innovative ways. The event provides a fantastic opportunity to network, share views, discuss problems and find solutions with others working in the industry.

Our theme this year is The Fourth Industrial Revolution, which encompasses the future of work and disruptive technologies. In the coming years, businesses will be faced with a rapidly changing environment brought on by advancements in technology. This creates both risks and opportunities and highlights the importance of continuous innovation and adaptation. Join us to hear from thought leaders from a range of industries and backgrounds on how we can successfully navigate this changing landscape.
