We’re proud to officially launch NZCryptoCon, New Zealand’s largest cryptocurrency and Web3 event, taking place February 20–25, 2027 in Auckland.
NZCryptoCon will bring together thousands of attendees from across New Zealand, Australia, and the wider Asia-Pacific region, marking an important milestone for the country’s growing digital finance and technology ecosystem. Our goal is simple: create a platform where industry leaders, builders, investors, businesses, and newcomers can come together to explore the future of crypto, blockchain, and Web3.
As New Zealand’s first large-scale crypto convention, NZCryptoCon will feature a multi-stage program of keynote presentations, panel discussions, exhibitor showcases, and curated networking experiences. Sessions will cover cryptocurrency fundamentals, blockchain innovation, regulation, security, decentralised finance (DeFi), NFTs, Web3 infrastructure, and the evolving role of digital assets in the global financial system.
Speaking on the launch of the event, NZCryptoCon Founder & CEO Dave Haslop said the timing reflects the rapid growth of crypto adoption across New Zealand.
“Crypto adoption in New Zealand is already becoming mainstream. Research suggests nearly half of Kiwis have owned, currently own, or are considering digital assets. The community is here, the momentum is real, and now it’s time for a major event that reflects the scale of what’s already happening across the country.”
We’re also excited to announce Swyftx as the Naming Rights Partner for the inaugural NZCryptoCon. Known for its focus on education, accessibility, and responsible participation in crypto markets, Swyftx shares our commitment to helping individuals engage confidently with digital assets.
“We’re excited to partner with NZCryptoCon to help grow awareness and provide accessible, trusted knowledge about cryptocurrency to as many Kiwis as possible,” a Swyftx spokesperson said.
“By joining forces with Easy Crypto, Swyftx is now the largest crypto exchange in New Zealand. A key part of our mission is raising awareness, investing in education, and supporting initiatives that drive responsible adoption. NZCryptoCon shares these same goals, and we’re proud to support an event helping shape the future of crypto in New Zealand.”
NZCryptoCon aims to become the annual hub for New Zealand’s digital asset ecosystem, connecting the local community while linking the country more closely with the global crypto industry.
“New Zealand has incredible talent and one of the most engaged grassroots crypto communities anywhere,” Haslop added. “What’s been missing is a national stage. NZCryptoCon becomes the annual place where founders, investors, builders, and newcomers come together to connect locally and plug into the global industry.”
The partnership with Swyftx will see the exchange play a central role across the event experience, including on-stage sessions, educational content, brand integrations, and exclusive activations designed to support both first-time attendees and experienced participants.
We expect NZCryptoCon to attract a diverse audience, including retail investors, developers, fintech professionals, startups, institutional players, policymakers, students, and those curious about the future of digital finance. Alongside the conference program, the event will also feature curated networking events and community experiences designed to foster meaningful connections.
