W.Media's annual New Zealand data-centre and cloud convention, gathering infrastructure leaders in Auckland for a one-day programme on AI infrastructure, power, cooling and connectivity.
The New Zealand Cloud & Datacenter Convention 2026 is set for 5 November 2026 in Auckland, bringing the country's data centre and cloud sector together for its annual one-day gathering. The organiser's live event page confirms the date and frames the agenda around AI infrastructure, connectivity, power, cooling and sustainable data centre growth.
The convention is produced by W.Media, the Singapore-headquartered digital-infrastructure media and events company that runs the Cloud & Datacenter Convention brand city by city across APAC, the Middle East and Europe. W.Media has staged earlier New Zealand editions, including 2022 at the Grand Millennium in Auckland and a 2023 edition, making the 2026 convention a continuation of an established local series rather than a one-off.
According to the organiser, the convention is aimed at New Zealand's data centre, cloud and digital infrastructure leaders: operators, cloud service providers, end-users, consultants and data centre professionals. The published programme spans AI infrastructure, connectivity, power and cooling, and sustainability, with a full agenda section on the official page though individual sessions were not yet detailed at the time of research. Aggregator listings describe a physical format drawing in the order of 500-plus delegates.
The event is listed at the Pullman Auckland Hotel & Apartments, on the corner of Princes Street and Waterloo Quadrant in Auckland's CBD. This is reported as context only: the hotel sits in central Auckland near Albert Park and the university precinct, a walkable part of the city centre well served by CBD public transport, and roughly a 20 to 25 minute drive from Auckland Airport depending on traffic. As a convention hotel it offers on-site accommodation alongside meeting space. One caveat for the record: while the organiser's meta description and both aggregator listings name Pullman Auckland, the official page's venue section currently displays a "Venue TBA" placeholder, so the specific room or any late venue change is worth re-checking closer to the date.
New Zealand's data centre market is expanding as global cloud operators invest in local capacity, and a dedicated national convention gives that sector a single annual meeting point in Auckland. For the directory it represents a recurring, sector-specific business event with an identifiable international organiser and a CBD hotel host, anchoring technology-sector conference activity in the city.
