CDAO New Zealand, now rebranded CDAIO New Zealand, is Corinium Global Intelligence's annual Auckland conference for senior data, analytics and AI leaders. The 2027 edition is not yet published - the most recent confirmed edition was 19-20 October 2026 - so the 2027 date and venue remain unconfirmed.
CDAIO New Zealand is an annual conference for senior data, analytics and AI leaders held in Auckland. The event was originally branded CDAO New Zealand (Chief Data & Analytics Officer); its official site now redirects to a CDAIO address, reflecting a rebrand that folds AI leadership into the Chief Data, Analytics & AI Officer remit.
The conference is produced by Corinium Global Intelligence, which runs a global CDAO/CDAIO series across the Asia-Pacific, the Americas and Europe and describes itself as a network connecting senior data, AI, security and cloud executives, reporting a community of more than 750,000 members across 78 countries.
The audience is senior data, analytics and AI decision-makers - Chief Data & Analytics Officers, Chief AI Officers, CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, heads of data, analytics and AI, and data-governance specialists. The agenda centres on four themes stated by the organiser: AI in practice, innovation versus risk, trusted data, and decision advantage.
The 2027 New Zealand edition has not been published. The most recent edition listed on the official site is 19-20 October 2026 in Auckland, and the site currently promotes 2027 editions in Sydney and Brisbane but no 2027 New Zealand date. The aggregator clocate.com carries a 2027 listing, but it shows a placeholder range with "dates currently unavailable" and names the Grand Millennium Auckland based on past editions - neither the 2027 date nor the 2027 venue is confirmed by the organiser.
The CDAO/CDAIO series is an established international business-events franchise that has consistently chosen Auckland for its New Zealand edition, drawing senior enterprise and public-sector leaders. A returning 2027 edition would continue to anchor a high-value corporate conference in the city, though confirmation of the date and venue awaits the organiser.
