Industry Day

1 July 2024

The Industry Day also provides a valuable forum for participants to share key takeaways and lessons learned from their experiences. By exchanging insights and successes, we can collectively inspire one another and ignite new ideas to be explored and tested in pilot projects. These endeavours aim to develop even more effective methods for aligning project stakeholders and overcoming the challenges that often arise during construction endeavours.

As you join us on this special day, expect to be surrounded by a diverse and dynamic community of industry leaders and experts. The collaborative atmosphere will encourage open dialogue, thoughtful discussions, and the exchange of invaluable knowledge. Together, we can shape the future of Lean construction and build a stronger, more resilient industry.

We wholeheartedly invite you to mark your calendar for the IGLC32 Industry Day, an event that promises to be both enlightening and inspiring. We eagerly anticipate your presence as we come together to learn, share, and collaborate, driving the construction industry forward one breakthrough at a time.

Join us on this transformative journey and be a part of the positive change that will shape the future of Lean project delivery.

We are delighted to extend a warm invitation to you for the highly anticipated IGLC32 Industry Day, set to take place on Monday 1st July 2024, at the prestigious Auckland University of Technology. This event offers a unique opportunity to engage in enriching discussions about the best practices and challenges faced in both local and international projects.

The IGLC32 Industry Day has been carefully curated to foster meaningful connections and facilitate networking among senior-level executives and decision-makers from Lean Construction communities worldwide. It serves as a platform for professionals to come together, exchange ideas, and forge valuable relationships that can shape the future of Lean project delivery.

By attending this exceptional event, you will have the chance to stay informed about the latest developments, emerging trends, innovative strategies, and progressive policies that are guided by the principles of Lean construction.
