Hosted by Dean Watson, Executive Director of EdTechNZ and Board Member of the Global EdTech Alliance, and Adam Walmsley, EdTechNZ Executive Council Member and Head of Business Development at LearnCoach, this is an informal event that could formally change the trajectory of your life.

Come along to meet others building, supporting and scaling education technology. Whether you’re an EdTech founder, educator, investor, industry partner or simply interested in the future of learning, this is an opportunity to connect with the community.
