What is COLAB?
COLAB is mass knowledge sharing
on a massive scale at its finest. For enablers, disruptors and innovators in the built environment.
COLAB23 will take place over two days in Auckland, 20-21 June 2023. Speakers are being approached and we will keep you updated on the schedule as confirmations come in.
Offsite manufacturing in the construction sector is entering the next stage in its exciting development. Awareness of the benefits of offsite manufacturing has grown and we now see a wide range of innovative businesses in the market.
OffsiteNZ COLAB will feature updates from industry partners as well as showcasing the latest trends and innovations within the residential, commercial and infrastructure offsite sector in New Zealand and internationally.
As well as hearing from exciting international keynote speakers, the conference will also provide an overview of the economic, regulatory, skills and sustainability landscape shaping the sector.
