Community

Ackama are a bronze sponsor for the 2018 New Zealand Open Source Awards (NZOSA), which recognises and celebrates the outstanding work done with free and open source software and the artistic, scientific and social outcomes it delivers in New Zealand.

Ackama’s Wellington office is the location for Managers Anonymous, a professional development group co-facilitated by our Head of People and Culture, Amy Shand.

In 2018 we sponsored three people to attend InsideOUT’s Shift Hui at Horouta Marae. InsideOUT works to make Aotearoa a safer place for young people of minority genders and sexuality.
