We invite you to celebrate the South Island launch of The Education Technology Association of New Zealand (EdTechNZ).

EdTechNZ is the voice of education technology in New Zealand, bringing together those with a shared interest in education technology, including industry providers, educators and Government. Our key purpose is to drive creative use of technology inside and outside the classroom, to facilitate a world class education system and showcase New Zealand education technology to the world.

Please attend our launch to learn more and have your say in shaping EdTechNZ. Then join us for our panel discussion, The Future of Education is Now, with:

The panel, facilitated by EdTechNZ Executive Council member Phil Garing, will discuss future trends and how technology is shaping the way we train and educate.
