The New Zealand Institute of Intelligence Professionals Conference 2026
The Institute welcomes all members, as well as the wider intelligence community, to join us at our annual Conference, which will take place on Thursday 20th August, at the National Museum of New Zealand, Te Papa Tongarewa, Wellington.
This year, we have selected a theme of Resilient Futures: Systems Intelligence for Sustainability and Security. Intelligence and technology are rapidly evolving amidst global uncertainty. Connection and innovation across the intelligence profession is crucial in combatting the emergent challenges that New Zealand is facing.
NZIIP’s 2026 Conference prioritises sector-wide transformation and connectivity, with speakers from MFAT, MBIE, MPI, Academia, NZDF, the McCain Institute, NZ Police, NEMA and more. Our annual conference offers a valuable and unique opportunity to connect with intelligence practitioners, thought leaders and critics alike.
Why Attend?
The intelligence sector here in Aotearoa is small. This Conference is the premier calendar event for our community to come together and network, build relationships, share our ideas and our challenges with others who face the same challenges. The programme has been carefully developed to ensure that practitioners and leaders from a full spectrum of intelligence specialisations are included. This is your opportunity to hear perspectives you won’t find in a single agency or discipline. This is your chance to come and learn, and challenge, and contribute to the evolution of the profession.
