EDNZ Annual Conference: Local Strength, Global Reach: Building New Zealand's Regional Economies

Join economic development professionals, thought leaders, and changemakers from across Aotearoa and beyond to share insights, spark ideas, and strengthen the foundations of prosperity. Together, we’ll explore how local capability drives national growth and elevates New Zealand’s global competitiveness.

Whether you're from local government, iwi, central agencies, or the private sector, this is your moment to connect, learn, and lead. Be inspired by bold ideas, practical insights, and real-world success stories that are shaping our future and expanding our global influence.

From energising keynote sessions to hands-on workshops and the prestigious EDNZ Excellence Awards Gala, this is more than just a gathering - it’s a launchpad for connection, collaboration, and progress.

Mark your calendars for Auckland – we can’t wait to welcome you!
