AI: Gloves Off
Overview

Unlock your AI edge. Join tech leaders for a high-impact, interactive day dedicated to mastering the AI revolution.

AI is no longer a feature. It’s a fundamental rewrite of how software is built, sold, and scaled. This highly interactive, full‑day event is hosted by Taiawa - Wellington Tech Hub in partnership with NZTE. It's designed for SaaS and software leaders who want to move beyond experimentation and understand how AI is actively disrupting products, go‑to‑market models, and customer delivery —and what that means for the future growth of their business.

What you’ll experience

Morning: Building and launching AI‑native products
How leading SaaS companies are designing, validating, and shipping AI‑driven products that change user expectations—and competitive dynamics.

Afternoon: Scaling AI across the business
How AI is being embedded across development, marketing, sales, and customer operations to unlock step‑change gains in speed, scale, and effectiveness.

Networking Drinks from 5pm

Why is this event different?

Hosted by Serge van Dam, you’ll hear directly from software and AI leaders who are deploying disruptive AI capabilities inside their businesses—sharing what worked, what didn’t, and what they would do differently. The format is deliberately practical and provocative:

  • Live demonstrations of emerging capabilities
  • Open discussion on risks, trade‑offs, and downstream impacts
  • Space to challenge assumptions and stress‑test ideas

Who should attend

  • Founders and CEOs
  • Product, technology, and growth leaders
  • Senior decision‑makers responsible for strategy, innovation, and execution

If your role involves deciding where AI truly matters – and where it doesn’t – this day is for you.

Why attend?

This event is an opportunity to:

  • Understand how disruptive AI capabilities translate into real business impact
  • Leave with concrete ideas you can immediately apply inside your own organisation

Morning and afternoon tea, and networking drinks provided
