EdTech conference a great success
The first EdTech for Export conference held in Wellington on 12 April was a sell-out success.
Education New Zealand (ENZ) supported the conference, alongside Learning Media and Grow Wellington, as part of ENZ’s wider strategy to build the capacity, capability and scaleability of the international education export industry.
ENZ sees a vibrant and successful EdTech sector as critical to the success of New Zealand’s educational offerings, domestically and offshore.
ENZ Education Business Development Manager Melonie Pitkin says “One of our key goals for the conference was providing an opportunity for a sector to begin to self identify and find opportunities to make business connections that might not ordinarily occur as part of business as usual.
“On that front we would certainly view this inaugural conference as successful. We're pleased that it was so well attended and well received. We're looking forward to feedback from participants that will help inform and shape how Education New Zealand can work with the EdTech sector.”
The EdTech for Export website will become a hub for EdTech news and information. Videos and slides for some keynote speakers and breakout sessions have been posted on the site.
