For the first time in history, the prominent global industry event will be held in New Zealand. The 2026 International No-Dig conference is heading to the Australasian region from October 28-29, 2026. The event was last hosted in Sydney in 2013, but after a successful bid by the Australasian Society for Trenchless Technology (ASTT), the exhibition and conference will take place at the newly built International Convention Centre in Auckland.
As the International Society for Trenchless Technology’s (ISTT) annual event, No-Dig New Zealand will feature a diverse range of equipment showcases, demonstrations, and conference sessions, and highlighting the latest innovations in trenchless technology.
Delegates will gain valuable insights and solutions for critical infrastructure maintenance, projects, and upgrades. New Zealand’s unique terrain presents challenges for traditional excavation methods, making trenchless solutions popular for infrastructure projects.
Significant projects have been completed, or are currently under construction, using trenchless technology including the 15km Central Interceptor wastewater storage tunnel, Project Hobson, and the Tauranga Southern Pipeline Harbour horizontal directional drilling crossing.
Exhibition opportunities to showcase cutting-edge equipment, technologies, and solutions to a global audience of trenchless professionals, contractors, engineers, and asset owners are still available.
The show floor will feature a diverse array of innovative machinery and tools specifically designed for trenchless applications, allowing participants to experience firsthand the cutting-edge solutions shaping the industry.
International No-Dig 2026 is organised in partnership with the ISTT by Prime Creative Media, Australasia’s largest B2B publishing and events company.
