Welcome to HIRECON26

It’s a pleasure to bring our conference back to Auckland, a vibrant hub for our industry and the perfect place to reconnect, learn, and look ahead together. This year’s event is all about strengthening relationships, sharing practical insights, and celebrating the innovation shaping the future of hire.

The Viaduct Events Centre provides the ideal setting for our suppliers to showcase their equipment and services, and offers easy access for attendees from across New Zealand and abroad.  We look forward to kicking off HIRECON26 together at the Pre-Conference Drinks on Monday, 27 July, a relaxed, informal opportunity to reconnect, meet new faces, and set the tone for two inspiring days ahead.

On Tuesday, 28 July, we officially open the conference with a packed exhibition floor displaying the latest equipment, technology, and services from across our industry, alongside a line-up of inspiring sessions, expert speakers and a standout keynote. That evening, we gather again for our Party Night, “All Hands On Deck! – Connect, Celebrate and Let the Good Tides Roll”, conveniently hosted at the Viaduct Events Centre.

Day two, 29 July, continues with valuable exhibition time, further networking opportunities, and educational sessions to support learning and industry connections, finishing with a celebration at our Hire Excellence Awards.

Whether you’re a long-time member or joining us for the first time, we’re glad you’re here. I encourage you to make the most of every conversation and opportunity.

I look forward to connecting with you at HIRECON26.

Warm regards,
