We’re delighted to be heading to Auckland for the 2026 NKBA Conference on 10-11 September.
The Conference will conclude with the Excellence in Design Awards Gala, marking the much‑anticipated return of these two flagship events together, a fitting celebration of our industry and its achievements.
Both events will be held at Under the Dome at the Auckland Museum, Auckland Domain, Parnell.
The programme is jam-packed and promises to create another exceptional event experience. Attendees can look forward to an inspiring lineup of speakers, practical and educational sessions, hands-on workshops, and plenty of opportunities for the invaluable networking our industry is known for.
