Many organisations are looking past the hype to understand how data and AI can deliver real value for New Zealand. Beyond the buzzwords, real impact comes from people making deliberate choices. From big-picture strategy to hands-on delivery, it’s human judgement and experience that turn complex data into solutions that improve businesses and communities.

Join Deloitte, Databricks and Tech Women for an afternoon of straight‑talking insights into how organisations are turning data and analytics into real‑world outcomes, shared by the people doing the mahi. Through short, lightning talks and an open panel discussion, three women in data will share personal stories and lessons learned from real data projects across the public and private sectors.

Aligned with Techweek’s Governance pillar, this session focusses on the frameworks and ways of working that support the responsible use of data and AI. It also aligns with the Growth pillar, exploring how effective data use can help grow New Zealand’s economy.

What to expect at the event:

Lightning talks with practical lessons from real-world data projects
A candid panel discussion with live audience Q&A
Networking with peers across the public and private sectors.

This event is for anyone interested in how data and AI can be used thoughtfully to support better decisions, stronger services, and a more innovative Aotearoa. You’ll leave with practical perspectives, fresh ideas, and new connections.
