The NZARM Conference 2026, run by the New Zealand Association of Resource Management, brings natural-resource practitioners to Cordis Auckland on 20–22 October 2026 under the theme 'Shaping Resilient Landscapes'.
The New Zealand Association of Resource Management (NZARM) holds its 2026 annual conference at Cordis Auckland from 20 to 22 October 2026, under the theme "Shaping Resilient Landscapes: Integrating People, Land and the Future of Water". Days 1 and 2 are conference sessions and Day 3 offers field-trip options.
NZARM is an incorporated society whose members are drawn from those engaged in the management of natural and physical resources. It calls itself "the home of natural resource management in Aotearoa New Zealand", and its work spans capability building, mentoring and training, a knowledge hub, the Broadsheet Magazine, and professional events including this annual conference. The 2026 programme features six keynote speakers, including government ministers, regional council leaders and international experts in land and water management, alongside practical presentations, real-world case studies and panel discussions.
The conference is aimed at natural-resource management practitioners: regional and district council staff, land and water specialists, environmental scientists, policy advisers, consultants and academics working across soil, water, biodiversity and catchment management. Registration is tiered for members, non-members, students and non-profit or volunteer attendees.
Cordis Auckland sits at 83 Symonds Street in Grafton, on the edge of the Auckland CBD, and offers conference facilities together with on-site accommodation. Day 3 field-trip options take delegates out to Waiheke Island, South Auckland and North Auckland, giving the programme a hands-on component beyond the plenary rooms.
A three-day sector conference with plenary sessions, keynote ministers and multiple field trips is a solid multi-day business-events booking for Auckland, drawing a national delegate base of council and environmental-sector professionals into the central city over a mid-week period, with the added draw of regional field days that extend visitor activity beyond the venue.
