Dicker Data opens registrations for TechX 2026 event

Dicker Data has opened registrations for its TechX 2026 event happening across August to October.

The event, which is held in four Australian capital cities as well as Auckland, will bring together complementary partner capabilities, solution specialists and vendors.

Delivered as a one-afternoon experience, TechX brings partners together to explore how the market is changing and what industry changes mean in practice for partner business models, customer engagement and longterm growth.

The events will feature a keynote from Mark Iles, chief analyst for APAC at Omdia, who will deliver a locally-focused view of how the market is evolving across Australia and New Zealand.

Drawing on independent regional research, Iles will unpack how customer demand is shifting across SMB, midmarket and enterprise segments, including the practical implications of AI adoption, security priorities, cloud strategies and other emerging technology trends.

TechX is a notforprofit initiative, designed and delivered inhouse by the Dicker Data team with a focus on strengthening the ANZ channel; the company reinvests all sponsorship revenue into the event experience.

Ben Johnson, GM of marketing and strategy for ANZ at Dicker Data, said TechX has become a critical touchpoint for partners seeking direction in an increasingly fragmented and fastmoving market.

“Success now depends on the ability to combine AI, security, cloud, data and device strategies into complete solutions, and partners need access to an ecosystem to deliver on that," he said.

"TechX is about helping partners understand where the AI opportunity is real, how it intersects with other technologies, and how collaboration across the ecosystem unlocks new revenue, services and growth.”

TechX 2026 is in Perth on 12 August; Brisbane on 20 August; Auckland on 25 August; Melbourne on 29 September; and Sydney on 15 October.
