The Australasian Corrosion Association's Auckland technical event is confirmed live for 14-15 October 2026 at AUT, though in 2026 it runs as the multi-city 'NZ/AU Technical Symposium & Expo', not the traditional single Corrosion & Prevention Conference.
Auckland will host a leg of the Australasian Corrosion Association's flagship technical programme on 14-15 October 2026 at AUT (Auckland University of Technology). The organiser's live event site confirms the city, venue and dates, and the directory record is broadly correct in placing the event in Auckland, New Zealand.
Two corrections against the organiser are worth noting. First, the earlier date of 12 October 2026 is superseded: the ACA lists the Auckland dates as 14-15 October 2026. Second, the 2026 edition is not branded "Corrosion & Prevention Conference". Following consultation with members and host partners, the ACA has restructured its annual congress into the "NZ/AU Technical Symposium & Expo 2026", a three-city roadshow visiting Christchurch (8-9 October), Auckland (14-15 October, AUT) and Melbourne (16-17 November). The next full Corrosion & Prevention Conference is scheduled for 2027 in Adelaide.
The event is delivered by the Australasian Corrosion Association Ltd (ACA), which describes itself as the leading body for the handling and mitigation of corrosion across Australia and New Zealand. The ACA is a not-for-profit, membership-based association running accredited training, technical groups and an annual conference, and it maintains a dedicated New Zealand branch. Its head office is in Coburg North, Victoria.
The Auckland leg carries the theme "Energy, Industry and Critical Asset Integrity". Per the organiser, each city event offers peer-reviewed technical presentations run through the ACA's established peer-review process, an industry exhibition, and networking. The intended audience is asset owners, engineers, consultants, contractors and suppliers working in corrosion and asset protection, with regional content tailored to local industry.
The confirmed venue is AUT in central Auckland. For delegate logistics, the organiser has arranged group-rate rooms at a cluster of central-city hotels, including Four Points by Sheraton Auckland, Grand Millennium Auckland, Crowne Plaza Auckland and Voco Auckland City Centre, all within the CBD and walkable to the campus precinct.
The restructure is a notable data point for New Zealand business events: rather than rotating the whole conference across the Tasman, the ACA is running standalone New Zealand legs in Christchurch and Auckland in 2026, keeping a technical congress footprint in-country in a year when the headline conference title has effectively moved to a roadshow format. The organiser frames this as building momentum toward a future New Zealand-hosted Corrosion & Prevention Conference.
