Every year, the KiwiSpan Conference brings our nationwide network together to reconnect, share ideas and recognise the people behind the KiwiSpan brand.
The conference gave our regions an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day, catch up with familiar faces, share what’s happening in their part of the country and look ahead to what’s next for KiwiSpan.
And, of course, it gave us the chance to celebrate some outstanding achievements from across the network.
The annual KiwiSpan Awards recognise the people, businesses and projects that have stood out over the past year.
From exceptional business performance and local marketing to standout projects and the people who make our network stronger, there was plenty to celebrate in 2026.

While the awards recognise individual achievements, the conference is also a reminder of the strength that comes from being part of the wider KiwiSpan network.
Every KiwiSpan region brings its own local knowledge, relationships and experience to the communities it operates in. Behind those local teams is a nationwide network of people willing to share ideas, experience and support.
That connection between local expertise and national capability is a big part of what KiwiSpan is built on.
A huge congratulations to all of our 2026 winners and runners-up, and thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s conference.
We’re proud of what the network has achieved over the past year — and we’re looking forward to seeing what our regions build next.
Built on Kiwi Ground. Reconnecting the Regions.
