WHO IS THE SUMMIT FOR?

Crypto investors, traders, accountants, tax advisers, finance teams, digital-asset businesses, fintechs, exchanges and compliance professionals across Australia and New Zealand.

IS IT SUITABLE FOR BEGINNERS?

Yes. Sessions are labelled beginner, intermediate or professional so you can build a programme that matches your experience.

DO I NEED TO OWN CRYPTO?

No. Many attendees are advisers, finance professionals or businesses evaluating digital assets rather than holders.

No. The summit is educational only and does not provide financial, legal or tax advice. Speak with a qualified professional about your own circumstances.

DO YOU COVER AUSTRALIAN CRYPTO TAX?

Yes — there is a dedicated Australia track covering topics such as disposals, capital gains, trading, staking and record keeping.

DO YOU COVER NEW ZEALAND CRYPTO TAX?

Yes — a separate New Zealand track covers cryptoasset income topics, valuation in NZD, record keeping and reporting. The two frameworks are treated distinctly.

WILL DEFI BE COVERED?

Yes. Dedicated sessions examine liquidity, lending, wrapping and bridging as reporting problems.

WILL STAKING BE COVERED?

Yes. Staking, rewards and airdrops have their own sessions in both country tracks.

IS THE EVENT ONLINE OR IN PERSON?

Both. The summit is hosted from two venues — ICC Sydney (14 Darling Drive, Darling Harbour, Sydney NSW 2000) and the Aotea Centre (50 Mayoral Drive, Auckland 1010) — and the full programme is streamed online for attendees in both countries.

Use the registration flow on this page. It takes under a minute and personalises your recommended sessions.

CAN ACCOUNTANTS ATTEND?

Yes. There is a professionals track built specifically for accountants, advisers and finance teams.

CAN CRYPTO BUSINESSES ATTEND?

Yes. Exchanges, fintechs, custody providers and Web3 companies are a core part of the audience.

ARE SESSIONS RECORDED?

Recording availability will be confirmed with the final programme. Registered attendees are notified first.

Built for investors, accountants and digital-asset professionals.

Digital assets • Tax • Reporting • ComplianceEducational content only. Not financial, legal or tax advice.

Why now

Crypto is no longer outside the system.

As digital assets mature, tax authorities, exchanges, investors and advisers are operating in a world of increasingly sophisticated reporting and data.

This is an educational visualisation of how activity becomes information. It is not specific tax advice.

Two markets

Two markets. Two tax systems. One digital asset economy.

Australia and New Zealand approach digital assets through different frameworks. The programme treats them separately — learn how the frameworks differ from experts who work with digital assets.

Every activity in a wallet creates a record. What that record means is a separate question — and it differs between Australia and New Zealand.

Illustrative only. The connection shown is a programme reference, not a determination about your position.

The questions

The questions crypto owners are asking.

Sessions explain how these questions are generally approached. They do not answer them for your personal situation.
