The New Zealand Institute of Intelligence Professionals has commissioned a one-day professional development course designed specifically for intelligence professionals who are new to management or leadership roles, and who are looking to strengthen their capabilities in guiding teams and navigating interpersonal dynamics in intelligence environments. The course will be held at the Bolton Hotel, Wellington on Tuesday 2nd September. There are 20 spots available; 10 are free to registered members and will be allocated by ballot, and the other 10 are available to purchase at a heavily subsidised rate.

Join the intelligence and national security community at the 2025 New Zealand Institute of Intelligence Professionals (NZIIP) Annual Conference, which will be held on Thursday 28 August, in the Grand Hall, Parliament Buildings, Wellington. This year’s theme, “Evolving Into an Innovative and Indispensable Intelligence Sector | Ka whakawhirinakihia ma te mohio me te atawhai” challenges professionals, policymakers, and partners across government, industry, and academia to shape the future of intelligence in Aotearoa.

From keynote addresses to in-depth discussion groups, the conference will give attendees a chance to learn from experts, share experiences, and identify practical ways to address the sector’s current challenges and future opportunities. Early bird tickets are availble until Friday 6 July.

The Events Team are pleased to welcome Justin Lester, a Director with DOT Loves Data, to present at this Central Region networking event. Members and the wider intelligence community are invited to join us at the National Libray on Monday 15th September for an opportunity to connect with their peers and hear Justin’s discuss the need for evidence-based policies. The presentation will also be streamed via Zoom for those unable to attend in-person.
