Welcome to the Wellies Expat IT group. If you or your partner are an IT professional, and are considering moving to or already live in Wellington, New Zealand, then you have come to the right place!
The Wellies were set up in Jan 2006 to build an informal expat network based locally in Wellington, specifically for IT professionals. We aim to provide this network in a spirit of goodwill, assistance and support. As of June '08 we have over 550 members, of which around 250 are in Wellington.
Have look around the site and don't forget to REGISTER. Why not check out our Facebook page here! **October 22nd 2008** Unlimited Potential are have accepted in principle our tentative proposal to merge with them and will put forward a motion to resolve at their AGM. This is at 6pm on 28th October, Wellington Chamber of Commerce, Lvl 28, Majestic Centre, 100 Willis Street, Wellington. All Wellies members are welcome to attend to see what they are about and get free beer! **August 5th 2008** The Wellies have made an tentative proposal to become the 'Expatriate arm' of Unlimited Potential - www.up.org.nz. The main reason behind this is that they have an effective structure for managing such a large number of members, with regular committee meetings and support. Unlimited Potential also complement The Wellies aims extremely well, in that we support people when they first arrive in town, however Unlimited Potential provides an ongoing ICT community for them to tap into once expats are settled. The monthly Wellies meetings are on hold until our direction is clarified further and we would like any feedback that members may have on this matter. Please contact us using the link on the right and let us know how you would like the Wellies to evolve to better support its members. regards
The Wellies Committee The Wellies wish to acknowledge the kind assistance and support of Wellington City Council in developing this website. Special thanks to Jock Mackintosh, Bryan Patchett, CEO Gary Poole, and Chair of Wellington Regional Strategy Murray McCaw. "Wellington is to Auckland what Melbourne is to Sydney, and what San Francisco is to Los Angeles. It has character instead of homogeneity; it is compact, not sprawling; it is quietly confident, not brash and in-your-face...Wellington is a diverse and sophisticated place that is too often left off the tourist trail." Anna Fifield: Financial Times (UK)
