TechConnect

Building Rotorua’s tech community.

What is TechConnect?

TechConnect is a networking community that brings together local technology thought leaders, businesses leveraging tech, and anyone eager to stay on top of this fast-moving sector.

Rotorua is home to incredible tech talent and innovations. We saw an opportunity to shine a light on our growing tech sector - while sharing insight, valuable learnings and inspiring stories.

TechConnect meet-ups.

We host quarterly meet-ups at the Launchpad building, 1057 Hinemoa Street, typically in February, May, August, and November.

Once you join TechConnect, you’ll receive email invitations ahead of each event. TechConnect is funded by Launchpad, meaning membership and meet-ups are free.

Each session dives into a specific topic, while maintaining a relaxed atmosphere that encourages open discussion. Enjoy drinks and nibbles while mingling, sharing ideas, and growing your network.
