Rotorua will host the INGENIUM 25th Annual Conference and AGM in June 2012 with the core theme being Rebuilding The Dream. Recent events in New Zealand and overseas have highlighted the need to future-proof our communities, and so the focus of the 2012 Conference will be recovery. Issues such as the global financial crisis and constraints on local government engineering will also be addressed.

The Conference Organising Committee believes the timing is perfect to share the wealth of information available on how communities, and the engineering professions that serves them, manage through these events and the re-build and reconstruction of their lives.

The 2012 Conference promises to be an inspiring experience, providing excellent opportunities for networking, knowledge sharing and encouragement for new and younger delegates. There is plenty to do in Rotorua and an exciting partners' programme will be offered. Our keynote speakers, technical tours and social programmes are designed to compliment the engineering essence of the Conference.

And don't let us forget the continuing commitment and dedication of our sponsors, without whom this event would not be the success it always is! As always, the exhibition will offer exceptional choices of products and information, all within an environment that allows you to engage with other professionals, make new contacts and meet old friends!

We are delighted to invite you to Rotorua and the wider region for our 25th Anniversary Conference and aim to make such a milestone a memorable experience!
