The 2026 edition of Comms Connect New Zealand will be held at the new Takina Wellington Convention & Exhibition Centre on 27–28 May. The move to Wellington has met with strong industry support, with just three stands remaining on an expanded exhibition floor.

Gold Sponsors for the 2026 event are Broadtech, Cable Ways, Complete-Coms, Pivotel, Tait Communications and Zetron. They will be joined by over 40 more critical comms and public safety sector suppliers and manufacturers on the expo floor.

Once again Comms Connect NZ will bring together the best industry experts in critical comms and public safety technology, and the conference aims to deliver the latest technologies, applications and case studies on subjects such as satellite comms, DMR Tier 3, PTT over cellular, professional LTE, AR/VR, IoT, private networks, disaster response and more.

The Call for Papers for the two-day conference is now open, and the organisers are seeking local and international case studies, technical presentations and panel discussion submissions. Details and submission criteria can be found on the event website: https://comms-connect.co.nz.
