SUMMARY:Connecting Aotearoa Summit 2025
DESCRIPTION:Why can’t we have 100% of kiwis connected? \nMark your calendars! We’re excited to be hosting the Connecting Aotearoa Summit 2025 – a redefinition of our flagship event\, the Rural Connectivity Symposium that we’ve held since 2015. \nIn its tenth year we wanted to ensure that the issues we cover are relevant and pertinent to where we are as a nation in 2025. Which is why we’re formally expanding the scope of the event and tackling the crucial question: \n“Why can’t we have 100% of New Zealanders connected” \nJoin us as we delve into the critical issues surrounding digital connectivity in Aotearoa. We are planning to explore sub-themes including: \n\nRural Connectivity: Bridging the digital divide and ensuring access for all\, regardless of location.\nAffordability: Examining the cost barriers to internet access and exploring solutions for greater affordability.\nDigital Equity: Promoting inclusivity and ensuring everyone has the opportunity to participate in the digital world.\nFuture Connectivity: Looking ahead to emerging technologies and innovative solutions for a connected Aotearoa. \n\n \nThese are all critical to us meeting our vision that all businesses and individuals in Aotearoa will have unrestricted access to the technology and services needed to thrive; no one misses out on the opportunities in technology\, and digital engagement is safe and inclusive for all. \n\n \nTUANZ \nAs the independent technology user’s association for Aotearoa\, TUANZ aims to build on its history of leading and achieving positive change. Our goal is to mobilise users across all parts of society and the economy\, ensuring they are aware of the opportunities and upcoming developments in technology. \n\nWISPA CONFERENCE \nThis year the Wireless ISP Association will be hosting their annual conference in the same venue the day before the TUANZ event – Tuesday 20 May. Opportunities to attend or support both events area available.
