Whiringa-ā-rangi November 23-25, 2026
Pōneke Wellington
This year we’re focusing on our roots as the National Digital Forum – a place of connection and discussion. Kanohi ki te kanohi, we’ll be tackling our digital challenges through our collective energy and wisdom.
Together, we’ll explore hononga (connections) within and beyond the digital. We’ll confront our limits and strengths. Many of the dilemmas we face as cultural organisations are intertwined with the challenges of our communities.
How do we deal with AI? What is happening to our information spaces, and what can or should we do about it? How does digital help us create meaningful places and experiences? How can we find connections and stay grounded while navigating technological change?
Join us for our conference in Pōneke, November 23-25, as we dive deep into the digital and weave connections throughout the GLAMIR sector. Tuia te hono e tatou.

SCHOLARSHIPS
We recognize that it’s important to offer opportunity across our sector - especially in an increasingly constrained environment. NDF continues to offer a scholarship program to provide financial support for registration and some associated travel.
We encourage scholarship applications from first-time attendees, those who may not have considered attendance otherwise, or staff where organisational support is challenging. Scholarships open on June 1 and close on July 15, with a decision made in early August.
