We are excited to welcome you to Ōtautahi Christchurch for the Āpōpō Congress.
The annual Āpōpō Congress welcomes asset managers, engineers, project managers, surveyors, planners, finance analysts, policy specialists, data experts, contractors, suppliers, academics, students – in fact all those involved in infrastructure assets, to come together and explore the infrastructure asset management challenges and opportunities we are facing as a profession.


Apōpō Congress will explore the theme, ‘Delivering Infrastructure Value.’
Trusted with the public purse and limited resources, infrastructure decision-makers carry the responsibility of delivering value for money for their communities. However, the concept of value in infrastructure transcends mere financial metrics, embodying a deeper connection between people, place, and purpose.
It reflects the ability of infrastructure to shape economies, uplift communities, preserve cultural identity, and harmonise with the natural environment, all while fostering resilience in the face of an uncertain future.
The true value lies in the integration of these elements, ensuring that infrastructure serves as a foundation for sustainable progress and collective wellbeing in the long term.
Diary the dates, plan to attend, learn, network and most of all have fun with colleagues.
