On behalf of the IESANZ Board and the Conference Committee, we wish to inform you of an important update regarding the IESANZ Lighting Conference – Light in Focus: The Future Illuminated.

After thorough deliberation and in light of the current global challenges, including the war and economic climate, the IESANZ Board has made the decision to postpone the Conference, originally scheduled to take place between 11 and 13 November 2026 at the NZICC in Auckland, New Zealand. This decision was made with great care, prioritizing the integrity of the event and the experience we aim to deliver to all participants.

The IESANZ Board remains steadfast in its commitment to delivering an exceptional International Conference and has already begun planning for the future. Further details regarding the 2027 IESANZ International Conference and Dinner, including dates and location, will be shared in due course.

While the full Conference has been postponed, we are pleased to confirm that the IESANZ New Zealand Chapter Awards Dinner will still take place as scheduled on Friday, 13 November 2026. This event will proceed as planned, celebrating the achievements within the industry and maintaining the spirit of recognition and excellence that defines our organization.

We deeply appreciate your ongoing support, enthusiasm, and dedication to IESANZ. All sponsorship discussions and expressions of interest will be retained, ensuring continuity as we move forward with future plans.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to sharing more updates soon.

Warm regards,
IESANZ Board and Conference Committee
