New for 2026

We’re excited to bring Downstream back to Wellington in 2026.

Tākina Wellington offers world-class conference and exhibition facilities, right in the heart of the city. With top-notch hotels, restaurants, and cafés just a short stroll away, it’s the perfect setting for reconnecting with industry peers and exploring new ideas.

Building on the insights and feedback from 2025, we’re continuing with a multi-stream format and a variety of session styles to deliver the best possible delegate experience. This approach allows us to cover a broader range of topics while also diving deeper into the issues that matter most.

Downstream 2026 will feature a dynamic mix of international thought leaders and influencers, bringing fresh perspectives and critical insights to help us tackle the sector’s most pressing challenges.

New format highlights include:

  • Breakout sessions and masterclasses
  • Round table discussions
  • Extended networking opportunities
  • Global perspectives from new international speakers

We can’t wait to welcome you to Tākina in 2026.
