About

NetHui is organised by InternetNZ and was first held in 2011. [1] It brings together people from business, government, civil society and the technical and academic sectors to talk about topical issues, challenges, and opportunities the internet brings to New Zealand. [2]

Each conference has a theme, with one or more keynote speakers and sessions with opportunities for discussion and debate. It has been held at various locations around the country, with sessions live streamed and recorded. Often there is also live-chat and collaborative online notes facilities available. [3]

A NetHui is about discussions, not presentations – participants set topics and lead conversations among all of the attendees. While there are plenary sessions with keynote speakers to bring participants together at the beginning and end of each day, most of a NetHui is dedicated to breakout sessions, often with multiple sessions running concurrently. This format deliberately creates smaller groups so more voices can be heard. [4]
