Event details

About the event

As artificial intelligence reshapes how government agencies deliver services, store data, and protect citizens, the infrastructure that underpins it all is under growing pressure to keep pace. The network has never mattered more.

This session brings together Cisco's regional experts in global network technology, visiting New Zealand specifically for this event, to share what they are seeing on the ground, across the region and around the world.

The session will include Q&A with Cisco and Cello specialists. Presentations will not be available publicly, making attendance the only way to access this material.After the session, join us for networking drinks and a behind-the-scenes experience at one of Wellington's most iconic sporting venues.

Who the event is for

This event is designed for senior leaders and decision-makers across New Zealand public sector organisations who are shaping technology, security, digital transformation and infrastructure strategy. It is particularly relevant for those interested in how AI, security and modern network architecture will influence future service delivery, risk management and investment planning.
