Yesterday morning the Prime Minister announced that the date of the General Election will shift from 19 September to 17
October. The movement of the election from three weeks before our 14 - 15 October Building Nations Symposium to three
days after has a material impact on the type of event we are able to hold.
In combination with the recurrence of COVID-19 in the community, the Prime Minister’s announcement to shift the election
has necessitated a review of the date for ReBuilding Nations 2020. ReBuilding Nations 2020 will now take place on 18-19 November 2020. The programme and venue will remain the same, as we essentially ‘lift and shift’ the event in its entirety to the new
dates.
We acknowledge this change of date for Building Nations is frustrating, however Infrastructure NZ is determined to
ensure that the symposium is safe, impactful and productive. We trust you understand and support this change, and we
look forward to welcoming you to yet another successful symposium.Reserving Your Tickets
