Conztruct rolls into New Plymouth: a trade-only building expo at TSB Stadium

MICE editorial — 01 August 2026 New Plymouth Tier A

Conztruct's touring construction trade show reaches New Plymouth's TSB Stadium on 6 August 2026 (3:00-6:30pm), the Taranaki leg of a 15-city national tour run by The CMS Group for licensed building practitioners.

Conztruct New Plymouth 2026

Conztruct comes to New Plymouth's TSB Stadium on 6 August 2026, running a single afternoon-to-evening session from 3:00pm to 6:30pm. It is the Taranaki leg of a 15-city national tour and sits within the building and construction trade-show sector.

Who runs it

The event is run by The CMS Group, which produces Conztruct as a touring trade show reaching cities across both islands in 2026 — from Hamilton, Auckland and Whangarei earlier in the year through the lower North Island in August (Wellington, Palmerston North, New Plymouth) and on to the South Island and East Coast later in the year. The New Plymouth date is confirmed on the organiser's own registration page.

Who it's for and the format

Conztruct is a trade-only exhibition aimed at licensed building practitioners and allied tradespeople — builders, electricians, plumbers, architects and specifiers. The format pairs a supplier exhibition floor with workshops and CPD/LBP-point learning; the organiser notes attendees must register with their own email so attendance can count toward licence requirements. The late-afternoon-into-evening scheduling is deliberate, fitting around a working trade day.

Venue and logistics as context

TSB Stadium is New Plymouth's principal indoor event venue, offering roughly 2,200sqm of adaptable open floor suited to exhibitions and trade shows. New Plymouth is served by New Plymouth Airport with direct links to Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, and the city carries accommodation and hospitality capacity to support single-day trade events of this scale.

Why it matters for NZ MICE

Conztruct is one of the country's most established touring trade shows, and its repeat presence in regional centres like New Plymouth underlines the role of secondary-city venues such as TSB Stadium in servicing sector-specific, high-frequency B2B exhibitions outside the main metros.
