Dicker Data brings TechX 2026 to Auckland's NZICC on 25 August

MICE editorial — 09 August 2026 Auckland Tier A

TechX 2026, Dicker Data's biennial ICT channel exhibition, lands in Auckland on 25 August 2026 at the New Zealand International Convention Centre, pairing an analyst keynote with a 35+ vendor expo floor for the distributor's resellers and their customers.

TechX 2026 Auckland

Dicker Data brings its TechX event to Auckland on Tuesday 25 August 2026, staged at the New Zealand International Convention Centre (NZICC) in the central city. The organiser describes TechX as the New Zealand ICT industry's premier biennial event, gathering the country's top reseller and vendor partners for a single afternoon-into-evening on the expo floor.

Who runs it

TechX is produced and presented by Dicker Data, the ASX-listed distributor's New Zealand arm. Auckland is the New Zealand leg of a wider ANZ roadshow that also runs in Perth (12 August), Brisbane (20 August), Melbourne (29 September) and Sydney (15 October); Dicker Data's Australian site explicitly notes that "TechX will be visiting Auckland on Tuesday 25th August."

Who it's for and what's on

Per the organiser, TechX is a complimentary event for Dicker Data partners and their customers, with registration required and limited spaces. It is pitched at business decision-makers, technical specialists and sales leaders across the reseller channel.

The published Auckland agenda opens with a 3:00 PM keynote discussion built around "The Partner Opportunity with Dicker Data" and a session from industry analyst Mark Iles on where the ANZ channel is heading across SMB, mid-market and enterprise, with a focus on AI adoption, security and cloud. The exhibition opens at 4:00 PM with live demonstrations, vendor presentations, an Enablement Zone of short capability sessions, and networking, before prize draws and a 7:30 PM close. The Auckland edition lists 35+ sponsoring technology brands, with Diamond sponsors including CXANZ, Dell, HP, HPE, Lenovo, Microsoft and Samsung.

Venue and logistics context

The NZICC sits on Hobson Street in Auckland's CBD, adjacent to the SkyCity precinct and within walking distance of a large cluster of central-city hotels, restaurants and transport links. Auckland Airport is roughly a 20 to 30 minute drive from the CBD depending on traffic. The organiser notes dedicated transfers to the NZICC are arranged for its flown-in regional partners.

Why it matters in NZ MICE

As a recurring, distributor-led channel gathering at a flagship purpose-built convention venue, TechX is a notable fixture in Auckland's business-events calendar, drawing the technology reseller community and dozens of major vendors into the NZICC for a concentrated single-day programme.
