What is COLAB?
COLAB is mass knowledge sharing
on a massive scale at its finest. For enablers, disruptors and innovators in the built environment.
COLAB is a well-established conference event designed to share knowledge with enablers, disruptors and innovators in the built environment. COLAB24 will keep everyone up to date with the latest developments and innovations and hear from experts in the industry, from here and abroad.
Awareness of the benefits of offsite manufacture has grown and we now see a wide range of innovative businesses in the market plus regulations are changing to enable offsite solutions to grow.
OffsiteNZ's COLAB24 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. There will be a dedicated Expo Area and an offsite showcase section in the public foyer area profiling offsite solutions that are in the market today.
New for this year are the site visits we are planning for the morning of 21 June 2024. You can register your interest when booking your conference ticket and we will reach out to you to complete your site visit booking when the sites have been confirmed.
Here's what delegates had to say about COLAB23:
“COLAB23 provided an exceptional collaboration platform, where like-minded disruptors sharing a growth mindset and common purpose came together. This unique environment encouraged psychological safety, allowing free expression of opinions and ideas.” Martin Fenn, CIOB MMC Lead for Oceania
“…a great event. It was an awesome opportunity to share our journey and to meet up with old friends and make new connections.” Andre Heller, Founder of FlexiHouse
“COLAB is one of my favourite conferences. OffsiteNZ’s commitment to creating a space that is safe to challenge leads to attracting professionals from all through the Design and Build Process who are seeking innovative solutions. The space for interaction, learning about what others offer, and creating collaborations is there.” Sharon Robinson, Smart Living Spaces
