- The SESOC 2023 Conference has ended -

Thank you to everyone that joined us this year in Christchurch, we hope to see you all for the SESOC Conference!

Nau Mai, Haere Mai – Welcome!

The SESOC 2023 Conference brings together professionals from a broad range of disciplines, including architecture, business, public policy, emergency response planning, regulation, and the legal profession. In addition to presentations from authors of submitted papers, we have a wonderful line up of invited speakers who will be sharing their experiences and perspectives on structural engineering.

Celebrating Structural Engineering

The theme of this year's conference is “Celebrating Structural Engineering”, and we have designed a programme to enable you to meet with fellow professionals and to engage in stimulating interactive debate on issues that matter to you.

The conference will be of interest to graduate and experienced engineers alike, with several streams running concurrently including an emerging structural engineer’s programme, providing choice and variety.

We look forward to seeing you at SESOC 2023.

Welcome to Ōtautahi Christchurch

A warm welcome awaits you in our city, a place of greenery, contemporary and classic architecture, scenery and space. Otautahi Christchurch has been rebuilt and reimagined; Venues are world-class, flexible, and uber-modern. Hotels and accommodation are conveniently close to both venues and hospitality, none more than 10 minutes from each other and easy walking to the Takina, the conference venue. All in a spacious and updated city centre designed not just for cars, but humans.

Our city is filled with green spaces, cycle lanes, and precincts reserved for pedestrians (and the occasional tram). We were voted one of the friendliest cities in the world back in 2019, so expect a wave and a smile (perhaps from the tram driver).

We are at the heart of the unforgettable South Island, an island absolutely stacked with pre and post activities and destinations. It's on the bucket list for a reason!

We look forward to welcoming you and your delegates to our city.

Sitting in the heart of the city along the banks of the Ōtākaro Avon River - it's striking architecture pays homage to the landscape of Canterbury and the history of local Ngāi Tahi iwi, featuring a distinctive façade that wraps and flows around the building reflecting the braided rivers of the Canterbury Plains.
