We run a series of Tech related events throughout the year ranging from our monthly networking events typically with a technical and business stream to our workshop series and our main event of the year; the Canterbury Tech Summit.
Note: Scroll down this page for links to past event recordings now available on our YouTube channel.
Canterbury Tech organises a series of 9 monthly events throughout the year. These are usually from 5.30pm on the first Tuesday of the month at one of our company member offices. At these events industry experts come along and share their knowledge of particular topics. We have both business and technical presentations. Industry experts present on topics ranging from agile development to capital raising and latest industry updates. At the end of the year we host our AGM followed by a fun quiz evening. Our meetings provide excellent networking opportunities and a great chance for everyone to meet and make contacts in a relaxed environment with craft beer, wine and nibbles provided. These events are typically for around 100 to 150 people and are free to attend for members (casual fee is $30+GST per event). Please note that we do sometimes have a limit on numbers so registering early is recommended to avoid disappointment.

Canterbury Tech’s stand out event each year is the Canterbury Tech Summit. It’s highly regarded as a key event in the tech ecosystem annual calendar, selling out each year with over 700 attendees. Due to changes in the Traffic Light Covid-19 Government Protection Framework, the 2021 Tech Summit, after being postponed for a third time to Wednesday 26th January 2022 at UCSA in Christchurch, sadly had to be cancelled. We are now delighted to announce a new Summit date…
