Stormwater Conference & Expo heading to the capital in 2027

On behalf of Water New Zealand, I look forward to welcoming you to the Stormwater Conference & Expo 2027 in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington from 19–21 May.

One of Aotearoa New Zealand’s leading water events, Stormwater 2027 will explore the theme “Weaving Our Resilient Stormwater Future: Where People, Place and Wai Meet.”

This theme recognises the connection of stormwater to our environment, climate, and communities and the importance of bringing together people, place and wai to support healthy, resilient communities and waterways.

As climate change, heavier rainfall and more frequent storm events create growing challenges, Stormwater 2027 will examine how sustainable planning, effective infrastructure and innovative approaches can strengthen resilience.

Over three days, sector leaders, presenters, exhibitors and delegates will share mātauranga Māori, technical expertise and industry knowledge, showcasing best practice, emerging technologies across stormwater design, modelling, treatment and flood management.

Join fellow professionals to exchange ideas, build connections and explore ideas and solutions to the challenges facing our stormwater sector at Stormwater Conference & Expo 2027, 19–21 May, at Tākina, Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington.

Together, we can shape a more resilient and sustainable future for our communities, environment and motu.

Ngā mihi nui
