Announcing Smart CIO: TechDay's newest digital event
Mon, 8th Jun 2020
FYI, this story is more than a year old

In the midst of lockdown, TechDay launched its very first digital event platform, with the aim to pick up the New Zealand IT industry by its bootstraps – the NZ IT Reboot.

Tech resellers, retailers, integrators, distributors or vendors set up exhibition stands, to get their message out and potentially turn around their bleak financial outlooks.

The New Zealand IT Reboot grew from a small idea to a big event, and within four weeks the website was developed, 277 exhibitors signed up and over 22,000 visitors attended.

Now, TechDay is taking that success and channelling into its new digital event platform – Smart CIO.

It's a digital event launching in July, with a laser-focus on connecting New Zealand's CIOs and IT managers with enterprise end users through live webinars, videos, LinkedIn connections and more using the same ‘expo' format that was so successful with The NZ IT Reboot.

The event has a theme of digital transformation in the IT department.

And just as digital transformation can revitalise and rejuvenate a business, Smart CIO aims also to aid tech businesses and enterprises grow and accelerate in a more cost-effective way.
