33rd Annual ALGIM Conference
The 33rd Annual ALGIM Conference was held from 17 - 20 November 2013 at the Bayview Wairakei Resort, State Highway One, Taupo, New Zealand.
This year’s conference combined ALGIM’s key areas and acquainted delegates with numerous exhibitor stands, best practice local government case studies, workshops, overseas experiences, networking opportunities, international and national speakers, and a prestigious national awards programme.
The event also showcased leading local government case studies - both nationally and internationally. This year the programme focused on ‘Working Together, Working Smarter through Shared Services, Mobility and Cloud’.
The Annual ALGIM Conference has been heralded by attendees as the best event for interacting and obtaining knowledge. This year it continued to deliver outstanding value to its sponsors, exhibitors, vendors and ALGIM members – the local authorities of New Zealand.

The use of technology in our organisations is continually expanding. There are many innovative solutions being designed and implemented which are worth sharing for the benefit of the local government ICT sector as a whole.

They aim to encourage local authorities to be innovative and to exercise technological leadership through services to its community.
