Plenty of exhibition zones and exciting experiences
2024 NZCBIA themed exhibition zone: This year, NZCBIA is partnering with multidisciplinary design studio I-N-D-J to create the 2024 NZCBIA themed exhibition zone at the expo!

Join the annual celebration and share the moment of glory
The annual gala dinner is always a highlight of the event. Tickets for this year's dinner have already sold out, showing just how eagerly it is anticipated. The winners of the 2024 NZCBIA Excellence Awards will also be announced at the dinner on 9 August. This year's awards have set a record, receiving more entries than ever before. There is particular anticipation about who will win the two specially created awards.
The NZCBIA Annual Construction Industry Report will also be formally launched at the dinner. Exceeding many people's expectations, the report is the product of joint efforts by economist Shamubeel and the NZCBIA and MultiMarketing teams. It will provide an important foundation for taking a fresh look at, and thinking deeply about, New Zealand's construction industry and wider economy.
From 9 August to 10, come to Due Drop Events Centre to experience the exceptional appeal of the 2024 New Zealand International Building Expo and Summit, and work together towards a bright future for New Zealand's construction industry!
