South Island Election Conference

Description

South Island Election Conference 2026

Marlborough Chamber of Commerce, and other Chambers of Commerce across Te Wai Pounamu, are bringing together business leaders from across the South Island for a high-energy half-day conference right in the heart of the 2026 election campaign season. 

This is your chance to get real answers from politicians on the issues that matter here — infrastructure, workforce, and the economic opportunities unique to our region. 

With party leaders at the podium, panel debates on the policies shaping our future, and a dedicated South Island infrastructure debate, this is the event that puts Te Wai Pounamu South Island firmly on the election agenda. 

Come ready to engage, challenge, and make your voice heard. 

Friday 14 August | 9.30am–2:00pm Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre, Christchurch.

Tables and individual seats available.  

Select the ‘Association Member’ option when booking your ticket, and let our Chamber know you are attending, so we can collaborate.
