ACE Awards Gala – ACE New Zealand
The ACE Awards celebrate Aotearoa New Zealand’s best consultants in engineering and professional services and showcase the exceptional mahi ACE members do for communities here and overseas.
This year’s ACE Awards Gala, sponsored by Beca, will be held at 7pm on Thursday 21 September, day two of the Futurespace conference, at the historic Dominion Museum Building at Massey University in Wellington.
We’ll recognise the consultants who go above and beyond ‘business as usual’ to deliver projects and initiatives in the built and natural environment.
Winning an ACE Award is a big deal, and we’re looking forward to celebrating all the achievements with you and your clients.
Projects will be awarded gold, silver or merit based on the level of achievement, how much the project has exceeded expectations and whether it sets a new industry standard. Judges may also present special awards where there is a unique contribution to the industry or community.
