Mindz in Action, Otago’s largest and most future-focused business conference, is proud to announce Datacom as the official principal sponsor for the inaugural 2025 event, taking place in 2 weeks on May 2nd at the Dunedin Centre (Town Hall).

Datacom is excited to be sponsoring and attending the inaugural MINDZ in Action conference in May 2025. We proudly bring technology and expertise together, delivering innovative IT solutions that help our customers to streamline operations, raise productivity, enhance service delivery and increase customer engagement. During MINDZ 2025, we will have two expert speakers presenting — one diving into the evolving landscape of AI in business and another exploring key trends in HR. This event is a fantastic opportunity to collaborate, learn and showcase how innovation is shaping the future. 

In addition to being the event’s principal sponsor, Datacom will take the stage with two speakers;

1. Angela Millward; The evolution of user experience in the era of AI agents: From navigation to collaboration

For decades, we've dreamed of systems that would respond to our questions by directly mimicking the natural human behaviour of asking a colleague for help. This dream is now becoming a reality with the emergence of AI agents. Join us for an exploration of how AI agents navigate complexity, adapt to changing circumstances and collaborate with users. We will explore the concept of cognitive offloading and how it can be used to enable employee development through the creation of “digital colleagues”, overcoming traditional technology limitations.

2. Richard Kenyon (HR stream): Embracing AI in our future: Navigating digital transformation with AI

In an era of continuous transformation, leaders must make decisions with foresight and agility. The future is constantly unfolding, and it is essential to stay attuned to emerging trends and signals to know when to act and how to navigate change. Join us for an exploration of futures thinking—a powerful tool to cultivate your own insights and spark innovation in others. Together, we will explore emerging signals, envision potential futures, and analyse how these evolving realities will influence growth. Our focus will be on how we can proactively leverage these opportunities to shape the future of HR and Payroll.

With Datacom’s support, this event is set to be a landmark moment for Otago’s business community, bringing together decision-makers, entrepreneurs, and industry experts to drive real business action.
