This biannual NZ Government IM Community session brings together public sector practitioners and industry experts to share practical, real-world insight into responsible AI adoption.
As AI accelerates across government, information managers are being asked to work more closely with technical and data teams to deliver measurable outcomes. This session moves beyond compliance to explore how information is structured, governed and trusted so it can support modern tools like Microsoft 365, Copilot and AI agents, without compromising privacy, security or public trust.
You’ll hear real NZ government experiences, global perspectives, and practical guidance you can apply immediately.
What you’ll hear about:
- The AI, security, and governance pressures shaping NZ government today — and how agencies are responding
- Real NZ agency experiences moving beyond compliance toward AI readiness
- Practical insight into AI agents and emerging capabilities across Microsoft 365 and Copilot
- Microsoft’s perspective on ethical and secure AI adoption in practice
- Clear, practical takeaways you can apply immediately in your agency
The session concludes with informal networking over drinks and canapés, giving you the chance to connect with peers facing similar challenges.
Wellington-based attendees are strongly encouraged to join in person. Virtual attendance is available via registration link.
Note: In person registration opens at 2:15PM
