As the Pacific’s premier information and communications technology showcase prepares to open its doors, anticipation is reaching a fever pitch for the upcoming Fiji Tech Summit.

Scheduled for November 12 and 13, 2026, at the InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort and Spa in Natadola, 5th-consecutive-year event brings together regional innovators, corporate heavyweights, and global technology leaders.

Organised by DATEC Fiji, the summit serves as a collaborative catalyst designed to accelerate digital evolution, cross-sector partnerships, and sustainable growth across the Blue Pacific.

At its core, this year’s agenda focuses on the dual pillars defining modern digital ecosystems that include artificial intelligence and robust cybersecurity.

With cyber threats growing increasingly sophisticated, industry experts will dissect critical infrastructure protection, incident response strategies, and network resilience.

According to DATEC Fiji, sessions will also spotlight artificial intelligence that demonstrate how organisations can harness smart automation to radically enhance operational productivity and decision-making frameworks.

Among the significant speakers headlining the summit are Shannon Harris (Managing Director, HP New Zealand), Chalice Yang (Senior Solution Manager, Huawei Technologies PNG), Han Zakaria (Partner Manager for Ingram Micro ANZ at Dell Technologies), Oliver Rees-Campbell (Workspace Security Lead, ANZ and Pacific), and Tony Cosma (Senior Cybersecurity Consultant at Sophos).

The packed two-day program blends comprehensive plenary keynotes, interactive panel discussions, and specialized breakout sessions with an expansive exhibition hall showcasing cutting-edge hardware, cloud systems, and security solutions.

Beyond the intensive seminars and technical workshops, the summit places a strong emphasis on relationship-building.

According to the organisers, this year’s gathering promises not only to spark vital dialogue but to deliver actionable frameworks that will future-proof the region’s future digital landscape.
