2026 Members' Day & Awards Gala

Napier provided the perfect setting as Groundspread NZ welcomed more than 110 members, sponsors and industry partners for the 2026 Members’ Day & Awards Gala.

Hosted by the Central Districts Branch, this year’s event embraced the theme “Riding the Wave of Success”, with a programme that encouraged members to reflect on what drives successful businesses, explore new ideas and technologies, strengthen industry connections, and help shape the future of the Association.

From engaging keynote presentations and practical workshops to lively conversations in the trade display area and the celebration of our annual award winners, the day showcased everything that makes the Groundspread NZ community so strong.

Thank you to everyone who travelled to Napier and contributed to another memorable event. If you missed the day, or would like to revisit the highlights, read our full event recap below.
