About our Events<\/strong><\/h3>

The NZSDA holds many regional and national events throughout the year. All provide great opportunities to engage and learn from established leaders and network in a community of likeminded industry peers. The sign makers conference has been our longest and most valued running event for more than 60 years.\u00a0 It is an event that many of our members look forward to each year.\u00a0<\/p>

The NZ Sign & Print Expo, known as New Zealand\u2019s biggest graphics, sign and display event, has had great exposure, and is well loved by the industry. The expo debuted in Auckland in 2013 and is held every three years.\u00a0<\/p>

The NZ Sign Display Awards is our national flagship event, a prestigious celebration recognizing excellence in the industry. Through the awards we acknowledge outstanding design and craftsmanship across a broad range of sign-making methods and technologies.\u00a0 Each year the overall level of entries is high, and competition is fierce.\u00a0<\/p>

A standout award is the Young Apprentice of the Year, which celebrates commitment, work ethics and attitude in those completing the NZ Sign Making Certificate. Over recent years we have also introduced notable awards, which stand outside of the general entries, to acknowledge individuals and businesses that excel in sustainable and innovative practices, community and industry leadership, and commitment to learning and training at a high level.\u00a0<\/p>

To find out more on all our Awards of Excellence, head to our dedicated NZ Sign Display Awards website<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
