HVAC&R Hub
The HVAC&R Hub is the one-stop shop for industry knowledge, networking and product demonstrations run annually in July – all offered in a concentrated format that allows you to gather a wealth of information and establish valuable connections with the seminar series the HVAC&R Summit.
BuildNZ is New Zealand’s largest trade-only exhibition for people who design, construct and manage buildings and facilities. This event features the HVAC&R Hub which brings together everything HVAC&R to one place. With over 280 exhibiting businesses, 6,000+ visitors and thousands of product innovations on display, this is the largest event for the HVAC&R industry in New Zealand.
Expos bring together industry leaders, innovators and experts all under one roof. Attending workshops, seminars and demonstrations allows you to stay current on the latest trends, technologies and regulations in the HVAC&R sector. Networking with peers fosters knowledge exchange and opens doors to potential collaborations. They also offer unparalleled access to a concentrated audience of decision-makers, potential clients and industry partners. By showcasing your company’s expertise at events such as the HVAC&R Hub as part of BuildNZ, you can establish brand recognition and generate valuable sales leads.
HVAC&R Hub caters to the entire building and construction ecosystem, providing an ideal platform to connect with architects, builders and facility managers who require top-notch HVAC&R solutions. The shows are located separately but alongside each other in the Auckland Showgrounds.
