Conference Welcome
On behalf of the Organising Committee, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 2025 Concrete NZ Conference, to be held in Auckland. This year’s event promises to deliver an exceptional mix of technical expertise, knowledge sharing, and valuable networking opportunities, making it a must-attend event for professionals across the concrete industry.
The Concrete NZ Conference remains a cornerstone for exploring the latest developments and innovations in construction, design, and materials. The 2025 technical programme is set to feature an outstanding lineup of international and local speakers, covering a broad range of topics designed to inform, inspire, and challenge our thinking. Highlights include the ever-popular lightning talks session and opportunities for attendees to contribute to the knowledge exchange by presenting their own papers.
In addition to the technical programme, the conference also provides fantastic opportunities to connect and engage with colleagues and industry peers. Both informal and formal dinners will offer relaxed and enjoyable settings to network, with the formal dinner also incorporating the prestigious industry awards—a true highlight of the event. We’re also excited to announce the return of the Concrete Cricket Bat competition, where participants will once again showcase their creativity and skill with this fun and competitive activity.
The venue will provide ample space for trade exhibitors, live demonstrations, and displays of heavy equipment, offering attendees the chance to get up close with the latest products, technologies, and innovations shaping the future of concrete. With its strong focus on technical excellence and collaboration, the 2025 Concrete NZ Conference will bring together professionals from all corners of the industry for an event that is both educational and memorable. I look forward to reconnecting with familiar faces and welcoming new ones to this exciting occasion.
See you in Auckland!
