Entries are now open for the 2025 Concrete NZ Conference Awards - an opportunity for members, their teams, and collaborators to be celebrated for the skill, dedication, and forward-thinking contributions that drive our industry forward.

Since the introduction of our revised awards framework in 2022, Concrete NZ has expanded its recognition programme to better celebrate outstanding contributions across both our membership and the wider construction sector. This includes our annual Conference Awards, which shine a light on the individuals, teams, and initiatives making a real difference within the industry.

Presented during the formal dinner at the 2025 Concrete NZ Conference, held at Auckland’s Viaduct Events Centre on Thursday 16 October, these awards remain a highlight of the Association’s calendar - bringing together Sector Group members and the Learned Society to acknowledge excellence in areas such as innovation, safety, sustainability, and leadership.

Whether you're a producer pushing the boundaries of technical performance, a team championing inclusion, or an individual making a lasting contribution to our sector - these awards are for you.
