Infrastructure Regulation Symposium 2026

The Infrastructure Regulation Symposium 2026 will be held in Wellington on Tuesday 24 November, at the Rydges Wellington.

This full-day, in-person event brings together people from across New Zealand's electricity, water, gas, airports and telecommunications sectors — including regulators, policymakers, infrastructure providers, customer advocates, investors and industry leaders. 

Infrastructure faces growing pressure from changing technologies, climate impacts, investment needs, affordability and equity challenges and evolving customer expectations. This symposium will bring together diverse perspectives on these pressures and explore the future of infrastructure regulation.  

Supported by the Commerce Commission, join sector leaders for a day of practical discussion, cross-sector insights and debate on the opportunities and challenges ahead.
