🚨 Calling all NZ Bitcoiners, freedom lovers, builders & organisers 🚨
We’re putting together something special for Aotearoa 🇳🇿
Inspired by the Oslo Freedom Forum, FOSS values, and Bitcoin’s revolutionary ethos — this is more than a conference. It’s a cultural moment grounded in tikanga Māori, open-source values, and sovereign ideas.
🌀 Aotearoa Conference – February 21st, 2026
A small but high-impact event in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland), focused on freedom tech, open dialogue, and global collaboration.
We’re now forming the core organising team.
Current (unconfirmed) list includes legends like:
Ben Jarvie, Hank & Dottie, James Isaacs, Willy Woo, Daniel Batten, Kyle Elmer, Bitkiwi, Simon Collins, Brandon Bucher, Nell Hunter, Andrew (@KiwiBitcoinGuide), and more.
We need help with:
🛠 Logistics
🎤 Speaker outreach
📣 Comms & media
💻 Tech & AV
💸 Ticketing & sponsorships
👥 Local community engagement
🎟️ VIP experience design
If you’re passionate about building something meaningful — even if you’re unsure how you can help — drop a comment, DM me, or signal your interest below 👇
Let’s make this something future generations in Aotearoa will remember.
