Chairman Patrick Brockie, on behalf of Infrastructure NZ, is delighted to invite you to a private luncheon with Hon Simon Bridges, Minister of Transport.

Topics for discussion include realising the wider economic benefits of transport projects, road pricing, and integrated transport and urban development at scale.

Kindly hosted by Anderson Lloyd, this luncheon is strictly a member-only invitation event.

Building Nations is the premier event on New Zealand’s infrastructure calendar. The two-day Symposium provides the opportunity for public and private sectors to come together to progress thinking and advance best practice in national infrastructure development. At its heart, the conference is about discussing and agreeing what must be done to ensure New Zealand’s infrastructure is not just fit-for-purpose, but that our infrastructure supports sustained improvement in the quality of life for all New Zealanders, now and into the future.

This year, Building Nations will will focus on exploring New Solutions for Infrastructure Challenges, and will be held at TSB Bank Arena, Queens Wharf in Wellington on 26 – 27 October 2017. 

It is the forum for Ministers and key public officials to announce major infrastructure policy directions, and sets Infrastructure NZ’s agenda for action for, and on behalf of, its members. 

Attended by over 450 industry and public sector leaders annually, Building Nations provides sponsors with an unparalleled opportunity for profile amongst the leaders of the country and the infrastructure industry.
