2 day conference that brings together everyone involved with Internet issues in New Zealand. NetHui is based on the format of multi-stakeholder collaboration successfully introduced by the global Internet Governance Forum (IGF).

Nethui is essentially Mozilla's mission reformatted into conference/unconference format. It deals with keeping the web open and participatory, issues around privacy and digital rights, how the internet is governed, education, identity, copyright, open data, etc etc.
