As we gear up for the 2025 ALGIM Annual Conference, scheduled for November 25-27 at the Tākina Conference Centre in Wellington, we are thrilled to share some exciting updates.

This year promises to be bigger than before…

Our 2025 theme focuses on “Collaborating Beyond Council Boundaries,” enabling us to foster discussions and partnerships delivering greater value to our communities by working together.

This year, our conference will have an educational focus and a new stream – Data and Insights which will encompass spatial data.

Don't forget that the 2025 ALGIM Awards are now open to New Zealand councils (including council-controlled organisation (CCO)). We have introduced a new award in the ICT stream - ALGIM Excellence in IT Infrastructure (Network, Cloud & On Premise) Award to shine a light on the dedicated professionals who ensure our technological foundations are robust and effective.

We are really excited to announce that our opening keynote speaker is “The Original Internet Godfather” Brett Johnson. Originally a centre figure in the cybercrime world for over 20 years, today Brett works as a security consultant and speaker all over the world. 

To assist with travel arrangements, please note that Day 1 registration desk opens at 7:30am, with the conference welcome and opening session starting at 8:30am. The programme will conclude on Day 3 at 2:30pm. We recommend booking flights accordingly to ensure you don’t miss any key sessions.

Stay tuned for more updates.
