Thank you for joining us at the 2026 Digital Trust Hui Taumata

The Digital Trust Hui Taumata 2026 – Towards Universal Trust – brought together Aotearoa New Zealand’s digital identity and trust community for a day focused on trust technology and the governance frameworks that underpin them.

This year, the Hui opened with a standout joint keynote pairing Drummond Reed with Dr Karaitiana Taiuru – bringing global trust architecture together with tikanga-informed digital governance and Māori data sovereignty.

The day moved from big-picture global insights into practical sessions focused on real-world adoption and interoperability – closing with the Trust Compact, where organisations stepped forward with concrete commitments ahead of 2027.

The Hui Taumata provided an opportunity for the digital identity and trust ecosystem to share insights into building a thriving and resilient trust economy for the benefit of all New Zealanders. Created by Tech New Zealand and Digital Identity New Zealand (DINZ), the event brought the community together to connect, share knowledge and help shape the future of digital trust.
