We know there are literally hundreds of options out there, all vying for your time, resources, and attendance. So why choose to attend the ACENZ Annual Conference?
Networking
We all know that business tends to be better when you take time to meet face-to-face and forge those personal relationships, not only with your clients, but also your key stakeholders and industry colleagues. The engineering community is at the top of one of the busiest business cycles in decades. The ACENZ Conference brings together other senior leaders and decision makers in one place, so that you can make connections that count. Our typical attendee profiles are reflected below:

We also know that there are plenty of other events that bring together a similar set of people, but usually, those are at niche events or regional conferences. At the ACENZ conference, you will get an array of attendees from the Director of an SME to the National Manager of a large firm; Christchurch Engineers or Northland Project Managers. It's a great place to meet someone who may be your next collaborative partner on a project or send you a peer review referral job.
Content
Another great reason to attend is that we've listened to you! This programme has been built on YOUR requests and YOUR voice straight from feedback collected from you.
We've mixed in some highly recommended Keynote speakers with adventurist, Jamie Fitzgerald and business leader Rob Edwards. We will also feature government speakers to give updates on the issues that matter to you and a selection of other stakeholder voices.
This year we are focusing on providing practical solutions and real takeaways that you can return with and start implementing in your own businesses straight away. There should be something to intrigue and inspire you!
Location
Engineers work hard, so we feel that you should have the chance to play hard too. Our conference is easily accessible by both air and car, in the hub of the South Island. An easy flight from all over the country is the right setting to learn, network, and strengthen relationships...as well as invest in your own well-being with some beautiful scenery and fun leisure options for pre or post-conference.
