A New Beginning    5 - 6 July 2021

 

Claudelands Event Centre, Hamilton

 

 

SESOC is excited to be hosting another high-quality conference for structural engineers and those with an interest in the built environment. This will be the sixth New Zealand conference hosted by SESOC.

 

The theme of this year's conference is “A New Beginning”.  It is 10 years since the Christchurch Earthquake Sequence, an event that significantly changed Structural Engineering in New Zealand.  Further challenges to the engineering profession have emerged in 2020 with the post Covid 19 environment requiring us to explore new ways of delivering services and adaptive working methods for the future.

 

We have designed a programme to enable you to meet with fellow professionals and to engage in stimulating debate. The conference will be of interest to experienced and graduate engineers alike, with several streams running concurrently including an emerging structural engineer’s programme, providing choice and variety.

 

The conference will bring together professionals from a broad range of disciplines, including architecture, business, public policy, emergency response planning, regulation, and the legal profession. In addition to presentations from authors of submitted papers, we have a wonderful line up of invited speakers who will be sharing their experiences and perspectives on structural engineering.

 

On each day of the conference there will be a plenary session, where all of the delegates will be invited to participate in stimulating debate on matters pertinent to the structural engineering profession.

 

SESOC looks forward to welcoming you to Hamilton in July, and your participation in what promises to be an outstanding event.
