Comms Connect NZ heads to Wellington in 2026

The 2026 edition of Comms Connect New Zealand will take place in the new Takina Convention and Exhibition Centre, Wellington, from 27–28 May 2026. This will be the first North Island edition in four years and marks a return to the major city rotation the event ran with prior to COVID.

Early response from the market has been very positive, with over 75% of exhibition space sold in the early-release promotion sent to past exhibitors and sponsors last week. The event team are now working with the venue to allocate some expansion space to cater for expected further growth.

A call for papers for the conference program will go out mid to late January, with international speakers expected to join the event next year.
