Great connections are gold. Back in 2017 we organised our first delegation of New Zealand SaaS companies to the annual SaaStr conference in the USA. The valuable connections that we made, and a need to maintain and grow those connections, sparked the start of our kiwiSaaS community. Today, the community connects regularly through our many events and activities.
Essential, short and punchy learning sessions run by experienced SaaS practitioners and hosted by Brett Roberts, our kiwiSaaS Community Director. The kiwiSaaS 'Need to Know' Webinar equips SaaS entrepreneurs with the critical ‘survival’ skills needed to tackle big business challenges such as attracting talent, data security and business scaling.
We all know that working in SaaS can feel lonely at times and opportunities to network exclusively with like-minded SaaS people are rare, particularly in the regions. Register to attend your next local Local Chapter meetup - and make sure you've joined our kiwiSaaS community so you'll be notified of future meetups in your area. The gatherings are relaxed with plenty of time to chat and to share ideas on topics such as supporting local SaaS talent growth.
Kiss My SaaS and Byte My SaaS are peer-to-peer learning experiences hosted by NZTE. Meet with local SaaS professionals in roles similar to your own, to problem solve and learn from one another. Our small group sessions are organised according to your SaaS company size to ensure discussions remain relevant to your business needs.
New Zealand’s annual gathering for Software-as-a-Service practitioners.

This year's programme featured thought-provoking speakers, seriously actionable workshops, and opportunities to collaborate with SaaS peers. Our exciting morning line-up of local and international speakers was hosted by Q+A’s Jack Tame. In the afternoon, attendees tackled an issue relevant to their business in one of our instructor-led, hands-on workshops.
The event that started it all, our annual pilgrimage to the US SaaStr Annual conference.
