For the first time since 2019, the NZ Plumbing Conference is crossing international waters, setting sail for Brisbane, Australia.

This highly anticipated event in the plumbing industry’s calendar will bring together professionals, industry leaders, and experts to address key challenges, explore innovation, and share best practices. The conference will culminate in a celebratory evening at the 2025 NZ Plumbing Awards, marking the success and achievements of the industry.

Brisbane, an energetic city with much to offer, is also gearing up to host the 2032 summer Olympics, making it the perfect backdrop for this landmark conference.

Attendees will have the chance to experience vibrant venues like Felons Brewing Co., a working brewery nestled along the Brisbane River with an outdoor beer garden, riverside terrace, and scenic river deck. Another highlight will be an unforgettable evening at Lina Rooftop, where guests can enjoy panoramic 180-degree views of the Brisbane skyline, alongside its chic restaurant, bar, and pool.

The conference will take place over three days at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, a world-class venue located in South Bank. It’s just a short walk from Brisbane’s CBD, offering easy access to hotels, restaurants, bars, and even the South Bank beach and parklands.

In the coming weeks, we’ll release the full conference programme, including exciting keynote speakers, evening event venues, dining spots, and the partner activity schedule. Be sure to follow us on social media and check your email for the latest updates!
