The first collection of international papers and presentations for International No-Dig Auckland are now live, giving the global trenchless industry an early look at the expertise and ideas that will feature at the event.
Taking place at the New Zealand International Convention Centre (NZICC) from 28–29 October 2026, International No-Dig Auckland will bring together trenchless technology specialists, infrastructure professionals, councils, utilities, contractors and suppliers from across New Zealand and around the world.
The newly released international papers and presentations are now available to view on the event website, providing attendees with an early opportunity to explore the technical knowledge and practical insights that will underpin the two-day conference.
The full conference program will be released soon, with further presentations and sessions set to be announced in the lead-up to the event.
Prime Creative Media Head of Marketing – Events Molly Hancock said making the international papers available ahead of the full program gives prospective attendees a chance to see the depth of expertise coming to Auckland.
“We wanted to give the industry an early look at the calibre of content being brought together for International No-Dig Auckland. The international papers are a great starting point for anyone looking to understand the ideas and projects that will be discussed at the event,” Hancock said.
With New Zealand’s water infrastructure facing significant investment and renewal, the conference will provide a forum for the industry to examine how trenchless technology can support the delivery of future infrastructure.
Hancock said the release is also a preview of what attendees can expect from the wider program.
“There is a lot more to come. The international papers give attendees a taste of the technical content, but the full program will bring together an even broader mix of speakers, topics and perspectives from across the trenchless sector,” she said.
International No-Dig Auckland is being delivered by the Australasian Society for Trenchless Technology (ASTT) in partnership with the International Society for Trenchless Technology (ISTT), marking the first International No-Dig conference and exhibition to be held in New Zealand.
The event will also coincide with the ISTT’s 40th anniversary, bringing an international spotlight to New Zealand’s underground infrastructure sector.
The full conference program will be released shortly.
