“Make NZ’s ‘Listen and Learn’ manufacturing industry conference will be 
held on May 24, as part of SouthMach and will focus on peer-to-peer 
learning opportunities for manufacturing leaders. It’s a one-day 
conference with presentations from well-known and exciting manufacturing 
leaders across three sessions,” says Aad van der Poel, exhibition sales 
and event manager for Xpo Exhibitions, organiser of SouthMach 2023.

SouthMach will take place over two days at Christchurch Arena in 
Christchurch, May 24-25, and is South Island’s premier technology trade 
show celebrating the heartland of New Zealand manufacturing.

Sessions during Listen and Learn will include a focus on the local and 
global environment that New Zealand manufacturers operate in, innovation 
for profit – as well as products, processes and business models.

Reducing waste and carbon footprint will be covered and many are looking 
forward to MESNZ’s James Neale with his presentation ‘If you want to 
reduce your carbon footprint, do your homework first’. Van der Poel says 
that the wide variety of key industry people with crucial information 
will help manufacturers meet customer expectations, become an employer 
of choice, and retain a social licence to operate, Industry 4.0, to name 
but a few.

“You will walk away with plenty of new ideas for making the boat go 
faster in your factory, and future-proofing you manufacturing business,” 
says van der Poel.

“It’s a chance for the industry to do as the name suggests and listen 
and learn, through such experienced and varied presentation speakers, 
and then implement what they have learnt into their own businesses and 
operations,” says van der Poel.

The programme of events begins at 9am and concludes 5.30pm, followed by 
a social hour where networking is encouraged.
