The Tapi PM:AI Summit is a full-day conference on 27 August 2026 at Park Hyatt Auckland, giving New Zealand property management leaders and business owners practical, hands-on AI training. It is run by Tapi, the NZ AI-first property-maintenance software company.
The PM:AI Summit is a one-day conference set for Thursday 27 August 2026 at Park Hyatt Auckland, running from 09:30 to 16:30 with registration and networking from 09:30 and drinks and networking to close. Billed as "a full day of practical AI learning for property management leaders and business owners across New Zealand," the programme is framed around a single question: what a property management leader actually needs to know and do with AI right now.
The summit is organised by Tapi (Tapi Limited), a New Zealand company that describes itself as an AI-first maintenance workbench for property management professionals, according to its website tapihq.com. Tapi says it hosts events for its client community, and its platform is used across agencies including Harcourts, Ray White, McGrath, Raine & Horne and Property Brokers. The "PM" in the title refers to property management rather than project or product management.
The day is aimed at property management leaders and business owners. The published agenda opens with a welcome from host Tal Meser, followed by sessions from Kendra Vant on what AI does well and where it falls short, Ashley Giles on choosing and implementing the right technology, and a two-part, hands-on "Build your first AI agent" workshop led by Serge van Dam — a New Zealand software investor and director independently listed elsewhere as associated with Tapi. Later sessions cover managing a working day through an AI assistant (Jason Colbey), the future of property maintenance coordination (Kendra Vant), and a closing "Your Business — Beyond AI" talk from Hermione Gardiner, before a close-and-commitment segment.
Park Hyatt Auckland sits at 99 Halsey Street in the Wynyard Quarter, on the city's waterfront next to Viaduct Harbour. As a five-star hotel it offers on-site accommodation, meaning out-of-town delegates can stay where the summit is held. The location is within walking distance of the Viaduct and central-city dining, and close to the Britomart transport interchange for train and bus connections. Auckland Airport is roughly 20 to 25 kilometres south, typically a 30 to 45 minute drive depending on traffic, making the waterfront setting convenient for delegates flying in from around the country.
The PM:AI Summit is an example of a New Zealand software company convening its own vertical-industry audience for a full-day business conference at a premium Auckland venue. For the MICE sector it reflects the growing pattern of vendor-hosted, sector-specific AI education events using waterfront hotel conference space to bring national industry audiences together in Auckland.
