NAVIGATING CHALLENGES AND SHAPING THE FUTURE
The construction industry is facing a perfect storm: high interest rates, continued inflationary pressures and a cost-of-living crisis. But amidst these everyday struggles, there’s also a critical shortage of skilled workers and a wave of imminent Government changes impacting the sector.
Navigating this storm is no easy feat, but BuildNZ, the nation’s largest industry-specific event, offers your greatest chance to discover how to weather these challenges and seize new opportunities, says Lorraine Smith, Xpo head of sales (trade).
“This must-attend pan-industry event equips attendees with the tools and knowledge they need to thrive in uncertain times. The industry is stronger together, and BuildNZ will unite everyone involved in designing, constructing, and managing New Zealand’s built environment.”
This June 25-26 BuildNZ show joins forces with Facilities Integrate and The National Safety Show at the Auckland Showgrounds. Bringing together the biggest names in construction in New Zealand for two days, these events serve as a hub for major deals and partnerships, further solidifying the importance of exhibitions in facilitating strong business relations.
“Packed with expert-led content, knowledge leaders and the latest products from over 200 local and international suppliers this must attend event uncovers innovation at every stage of the value chain. These events are the largest and most influential building and construction events in New Zealand,” says Smith.
In an increasingly digital world, the importance of face-to-face interaction remains paramount. BuildNZ, as it has done so for over 30 years, provides the ideal space to get hands-on with product advancements and forge invaluable industry connections.
“This year’s edition promises to be the most significant yet presenting a platform for thought leaders, innovators, decision makers and construction enthusiasts to discuss the future of the sector.”
An exceptional CPD and LBP accredited speaker series has been planned including an architectural keynote panel session soon to be announced, adding to an already impressive programme. Industry leaders from New Zealand’s top construction firms will join on the BCI Central stage, offering insights into market challenges and opportunities, anticipated development changes, the role of emerging technologies and key business priorities for the coming year.
As the industry grapples with ongoing change, the German New Zealand Chamber of Commerce will moderate a timely panel discussion exploring the implications and opportunities of the new EU-NZ Free Trade Agreement for New Zealand’s construction sector. Expect insights from EU representatives, legal experts, and government officials.
