Accelerating AI in NZ
Deloitte brings tech giants AWS and ServiceNow to the table for industry summit
Auckland, April 4, 2025 – As organisations consider the next steps in their technology transformations, Deloitte is bringing together two of the industry’s biggest players for a summit focused on shaping the future of AI in New Zealand.
Leading global experts and decision-makers from AWS and ServiceNow will come together at a summit hosted and facilitated by Deloitte in Auckland next week (April 8 – 10) to accelerate AI adoption in New Zealand.
With AI transforming industries at an unprecedented pace, the event aims to foster discussions on the challenges and opportunities unique to New Zealand, setting the stage for a more integrated and forward-thinking approach to AI’s role in business.
Matt Dalton, Engineering, AI, and Data Lead Partner at Deloitte New Zealand, said the summit is about collaboration and innovation within the local market.
“Bringing together the two pre-eminent global platforms in this space is a fantastic opportunity to promote rapid AI innovations in New Zealand,” he said.
“We’re at a pivotal moment in AI’s evolution. The technology is evolving quickly and with that comes challenges - but also incredible potential.
“By bringing these industry leaders together in Auckland, we can have important conversations about how businesses can unlock value from what AWS and ServiceNow offer and define the next chapter of New Zealand’s AI development.”
The event comes as AWS and ServiceNow continue to strengthen their strategic collaboration with new products and integrations designed to help businesses develop AI solutions at scale.
Damian Harvey, Technology Partner at Deloitte New Zealand, said the summit will see senior leaders from both organisations exploring new strategies and sharing innovative ideas.
“This summit isn’t just about big picture AI advancements; it’s about real-world applications,” he said.
“We’re bringing together the best minds in AI to talk about how businesses can harness this technology for growth, efficiency, and innovation. We’re looking forward to facilitating discussions with these global and regional tech leaders and talking with them about New Zealand issues and New Zealand solutions.
“One of the biggest challenges for organisations today is knowing how to integrate AI effectively, but our alliances with both AWS and ServiceNow offer Deloitte clients a unique opportunity to learn, adapt and drive a competitive advantage. We encourage any organisation considering the next phase of their AI journey to reach out to the Deloitte team to understand the impact accelerating this technology could have for them.”
