Inspire others to action at Digital Health Week NZ 2025

Are you driving change, shaping innovation, or leading conversations in the digital health space? We want to hear from you!

Digital Health Week NZ 2025 is calling for speakers from across the health sector — clinicians, researchers, data scientists, innovators, health service leaders, and beyond. If you're exploring the frontiers of digital health, this is your platform to share your work, inspire action, and connect with others who are transforming healthcare.

This year, we're embracing the power of ‘collabor-action’ — where working together drives real impact. We're inviting you to lead discussions and share case studies that highlight how partnerships, shared goals, and integrated systems are improving outcomes and driving meaningful change.

If you’re passionate about data, integration, change management, or leadership in digital health, we want your voice in the room.

Whether you're in primary care or policy development, hospital systems, research or health tech, join us and help shape the future of healthcare in Aotearoa.

Submit your speaker proposal now — and be part of the action.
