Corinium's CISO New Zealand summit gathers senior cyber-security leaders at the Grand Millennium Auckland, 18–19 November 2026, with 350+ attendees and 30+ speakers.
CISO New Zealand returns to Auckland on 18–19 November 2026 at the Grand Millennium Auckland, gathering the country's senior cyber security leadership for two days of peer-led sessions. According to organiser Corinium Global Intelligence, the summit draws 350+ attendees and 30+ speakers, with a 2026 agenda built around governance and accountability as AI, SaaS and vendor-driven systems reshape ownership and control, designing for secure behaviour, leadership under resource constraint, and trust and identity across humans and machines. A featured session on day one has Alastair Miller, GM Network & Security at Genesis Energy, on "micro-breaches" and resilience in an assumed-breach world.
The event is produced by Corinium Global Intelligence, the international business-intelligence firm behind the CISO summit series, and the official 2026 New Zealand edition is live at ciso-nz.coriniumintelligence.com. Corinium positions the programme as content-led and senior-focused, curated for and largely by practising security executives rather than a vendor trade show.
Per the organiser, the audience is senior cyber security leaders across New Zealand: CISOs and CIOs alongside directors, heads and managers of cyber security, information security, risk, governance and technology. Corinium runs separate end-user and vendor registration tracks, signalling a split between the executive delegate audience and the sponsoring solution providers.
The summit is held at the Grand Millennium Auckland, 71 Mayoral Drive, Auckland 1010, as listed on the event's venue page. The hotel sits in the Auckland CBD on the edge of the city centre, placing delegates within the central business district and close to Auckland's main hotel and transport options.
A two-day executive summit of this scale in the Auckland CBD is a meaningful business-events anchor: it concentrates 350-plus senior delegates and 30-plus speakers in a single CBD hotel across a mid-week window in November, with national draw across the country's technology and risk leadership. For the New Zealand MICE sector it is a repeat, organiser-run conference with a confirmed downtown venue, the kind of recurring corporate gathering that underpins Auckland's mid-November business-events calendar.
A New Zealand China Products Expo appears to be a real, recurring Auckland trade exhibition (a 2025 edition was listed 20-23 Nov 2025 and a 2026 edition was promoted in a Chinese government trade article), but no official site, venue or confirmed 2026 date could be verified.
