the PROFESSIONAL panel
Join us for a session strictly for the professional community, featuring two leading Australian practices challenging the way the industry operates - from how buildings get made, to how studios get run. A conversation about what a better model looks like and what NZ practices can take from it.
THE PUBLIC PANEL
Hosted by Tom Webster - architect and host of Grand Designs New Zealand. Tom sits down with six of Australasia's most accomplished architects, designers and builders for the conversation most homeowners never get to hear: the decisions made before construction starts that determine whether a home works, what it costs and how it feels to live in.
Connect & Continue
The conversations continue. Return to exhibitors, connect with panellists and use your ArchiPro App to enquire with professionals you've met.
Drinks and canapés provided. This is the part where plans start to take shape.
