Parliament Venues Wellington
Transporting New Zealand’s 60th Anniversary Conference and Road Freight Industry Awards Dinner is coming to the capital in 2026. Held at Parliament in Wellington, this event offers a unique and nationally significant setting for industry connection during an election year.
With economic pressures, rapid advances in technology and artificial intelligence, and a shifting political environment, operators and suppliers are navigating more change than ever before.
Our focus areas of the conference are the political landscape of New Zealand, the future of technology and artificial intelligence, and managing costs in the current economic climate.
Join us for our Conference in 2026, and leave with clarity, confidence and a clearer view of where our industry is headed.
