Thank you to all those who attended
COLAB20 is mass knowledge sharing
on a massive scale at its finest and
without the crowds
It was a terrific day on LIVE conference day, and we'd love to send our thanks to all those who participated - our hosts, speakers, sponsors, exhibitors, the PrefabNZ team and our important PrefabNZ Members and delegates who attended. This conference was a new journey for the PrefabNZ team, and they came through with a winning formula. They hope you enjoyed yourself.
We acknowledge the learnings that came out of the conference and look forward to the future of such events with the experience now gained to deliver it bigger and brighter.
The On-Demand Library is available to all paid delegates until 30 July. NZIA CPD points will be processed on the 1st August. CPD points through other associations will need to be contacted directly by the delegate for processing.
The PrefabNZ team have updated the On-Demand library with the podcast series of the conference day interviews/Q&A's, panel discussions and roundtable sessions. These are freely available to paid delegates. For those who didn't pay to attend COLAB20 live, we have a post-conference package available for purchase ($99 +GST) which will give you access to these resources.
A survey will be sent out to delegates soon, and we would love and appreciate your feedback.
