IT Operations & Cloud Computing 2026

Turning cloud and infrastructure into secure, scalable and high performing business platforms.

As Aotearoa’s organisations accelerate digital transformation, IT operations and cloud platforms have become core business infrastructure. The performance, resilience, security and cost efficiency of these environments now directly determine an organisation’s ability to serve customers, meet regulatory obligations and compete in a digital economy.

New Zealand enterprises and public sector agencies are operating in an environment of rising cyber risk, regulatory pressure, cost constraints and skills shortages, while being expected to deliver always on, data driven, citizen and customer centric services. Traditional infrastructure and reactive IT operations models can no longer support these expectations.

IT Operations and Cloud Computing 2026 is designed to give CIOs, CTOs, Heads of Infrastructure, Cloud and Platform Engineering the strategic and technical insight required to modernise operations, optimise cloud investment and build platforms that deliver measurable business outcomes. 

Cloud platforms are no longer experimental. They are now the foundation for productivity, customer experience, cyber resilience and growth. 

This event focuses on how to move from cloud adoption to cloud value, and from IT operations as support to IT operations as a strategic business capability.
