Welcome to Auckland and the beginning of ITACC NZ 2026. Upon arrival, the VT Solutions team will meet delegates at Auckland Airport and transfer the group to the hotel, with time to check in and refresh after the journey. In the evening, we will come together for the official VT Welcome Dinner – a relaxed opportunity to meet fellow attendees, connect with the VT team and prepare for the professional programme ahead.

Our first full programme day focuses on direct access to leading technology and cybersecurity specialists. The day begins with MAXHUB before continuing with dedicated sessions featuring Chillisoft & ESET, Mimecast, Exabeam and Imperva. These sessions are designed to give delegates the opportunity to hear directly from the teams behind the solutions, explore current capabilities and discuss how the technologies may apply within their own organisations. A fireside chat provides space for broader industry discussion before the day concludes with dinner alongside Chillisoft and participating vendors.

Thursday is dedicated to CybersecCon 2026, one of the key professional development components of the ITACC NZ programme. Delegates will begin with registration and coffee before participating in hands-on workshops and the CybersecCon Main Event.

The 2026 conference programme is focused on the rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, with content covering emerging threats, AI-driven security challenges, cloud transformation, Zero Trust and cyber resilience. The event combines keynote presentations, panel discussions, technical insights, interactive demonstrations and networking with cybersecurity professionals and globally recognised technology vendors.

For delegates and their organisations, the day provides an opportunity to hear current perspectives from industry leaders, strengthen cybersecurity knowledge and bring practical insights back into future security, technology and risk discussions.

Friday continues the professional programme with a full day of technology engagement. Delegates will meet specialists across the Cisco and Meraki ecosystem, with planned participation from Entelar/Westcon and IFM, before exploring physical security technologies through Wesco, including Hikvision, Hanwha Vision and OpenEye. The afternoon also includes a dedicated Fortinet session. These engagements provide valuable opportunities to compare technologies, ask practical questions and understand how different solutions can support organisational requirements.

Delegates will enjoy a final breakfast before checking out of the hotel. The group will have lunch before transferring to Auckland Airport for the return journey. ITACC NZ 2026 concludes after six days of vendor engagement, cybersecurity education, professional networking and hosted activities in Auckland.
