Premium positions are selling out fast for International No-Dig Auckland 2026.
International No-Dig Auckland 2026 will be held at the New Zealand International Convention Centre on 28–29 October 2026, marking the first time International Society for Trenchless Technology (ISTT) brings its flagship No-Dig conference to New Zealand.
The decision to host it in Auckland reflects growing recognition of New Zealand’s unique underground infrastructure needs and its increasing leadership in sustainable, trenchless-method solutions. The country’s terrain, environmental ethos and growing investments in sewage, water and utility infrastructure make no-dig technologies like microtunnelling, horizontal directional drilling and modern pipeline rehab particularly relevant.
“Auckland provides the ideal setting for the next chapter of trenchless innovation,” General Manager – Events at Prime Creative Media Siobhan Rocks said.
“New Zealand’s recent achievements in underground construction show the world how sustainability and technology can come together to shape the cities of the future.”
Already, a strong line-up of global trenchless firms have locked in as exhibitors and sponsors, signalling serious demand and high expectations even before the full program has been released.
Attendees can look forward to meeting global heavyweights such as Pipe Core, Herrenknecht, IMS Robotics, Creg / Wirth, Norditube / Pipeworks, Inrock, Kaiser, TRACTO, Denson, OptionX, GN Solids / Trenchmate, Channeline International and more. Their early commitment highlights the appetite for cutting-edge solutions, live demonstrations and deep technical expertise across the world’s underground infrastructure sector.
“Exhibition space is filling up fast, and we’re seeing lots of companies keen to get in early,” Rocks said.
“With so many top players already on board, the 2026 show is shaping up to be one of the biggest and most exciting trenchless events in the world. If you want to get in front of the right people and make the most of the buzz, now’s the time to lock in your stand.”
With thousands of trenchless professionals expected to attend, International No-Dig Auckland 2026 offers a concentrated platform for solution providers looking to scale their presence. Early exhibitors are already positioning themselves to connect with engineers, utilities, councils, contractors, and project leaders shaping the pipeline and infrastructure landscape.
The plan for 2026 is ambitious: over two days, attendees will see a world-class exhibition of the latest underground-infrastructure technology, get access to technical sessions, case studies, research presentations and design innovations, and be able to network with a global community of engineers, contractors, utilities, suppliers and planners. The event aims to deliver not just business leads and equipment showcases, but real insights into future-proof underground infrastructure systems.
The timing and location couldn’t be more fitting, because New Zealand is already seeing major trenchless-enabled infrastructure projects in motion. It means the show won’t be purely theoretical: many of the techniques and products on display are already being used in real-world projects, under real-world constraints.
International No-Dig Auckland 2026 represents a convergence of market demand, technological maturity, environmental sensibility and global collaboration. Companies wanting to be part of this global gathering are encouraged to secure their stand while premium spaces remain.
