As New Zealand's corporate
and investor landscape evolves, professionals who engage with capital markets
must adapt to rapid shifts in regulation, technology, and market sentiment. The
AIRA New Zealand Update 2026 provides an essential forum for corporate
leaders to explore the latest challenges and opportunities shaping capital
markets.
This year's program is taking shape, with a practical half-day agenda focused on the forces reshaping investor relations and capital markets engagement in New Zealand.
Join us in Auckland on Thursday, 23 July 2026 to hear from market leaders, fund managers, directors, executives and investor relations professionals on the issues that matter most to issuers, investors and advisers.
The program will explore:
- The future of New Zealand’s capital markets, including NZX strategic priorities, market outlook, participation, liquidity and issuer confidence
- Global markets, geopolitics and capital flows, and what they mean for New Zealand companies seeking investor attention and capital
- What fund managers really use to make investment decisions, from management credibility and capital allocation to disclosures, metrics and engagement quality
- AI in action, including how technology is reshaping the investment process and how investors consume and assess company information
- Board OR CEO perspectives on leading through uncertainty, including capital allocation, investor expectations and long-term value creation
- Quant investing explained, covering passive investing, ETFs, index funds, AI-driven strategies, trading data and implications for IR
- Executive remuneration, transparency and trust, including governance trends, shareholder expectations and disclosure quality
- The evolving role of IR, from practitioner to strategic adviser influencing boards, executives and investor engagement.
The afternoon will also include networking opportunities, with lunch on arrival and post-event networking drinks following the formal program.
Whether you are focused on investor engagement, governance, disclosure, capital markets strategy or the changing role of technology in investment decision-making, this event will provide timely insights and practical perspectives for the year ahead.
