New Zealand Architectural Design Conference provides a dynamic platform for architectural designers, architects, and professionals from across the architectural and construction sectors to connect, learn, and celebrate our industry over two engaging days.
Featuring some of our industry's innovators and changemakers, the programme is designed to spark fresh ideas and offer inspiration that can transform your approach to design, your career, and your personal growth.
Beyond the sessions, our conference is known for its exceptional networking opportunities. The Wednesday Mix and Mingle kicks things off, followed by Thursday’s themed Welcome Party - both events fostering a strong sense of collegiality ADNZ is known for. The highlight of the week, the ADNZ Resene Architectural Design Awards Gala Dinner, celebrates excellence in Aotearoa New Zealand design and announces the 2026 national and supreme winners.
Stay on and join us on Saturday 31 October for our ADNZ Gib® Architectural tour showcasing some of Auckland’s iconic architecture.
