Why you should join

NZICT needs you and your voice.  To represent the industry our membership must be truly representative, and we want to have a dialogue with you.  We want to know what you think.  With our regular Member meetings, active sub-committees and work groups, and on-line discussions, we aim to inform and debate current issues.  We want to hear your thoughts and ensure that when we advocate policy, it’s truly a reflection of our membership. 

We’ve built a structure that allows ICT companies of all sizes to join and have a say.   And we know that you want to mix with other ICT firms, share thoughts, meet new partners and generally participate, so we’ve created forums for exactly that.   

Help share the agenda for the NZ ICT industry and influence the role we play in the NZ economy.  And at a working level help us get more young New Zealanders into the ICT business to fill the skills gap, and power growth in our sector.
