New Zealand’s diverse regions will be on show for more than 600 business event organisers at ASB Showgrounds in Auckland this May.

The annual Meetings exhibition organised by Conventions and Incentives New Zealand (CINZ) will take place at ASB Showgrounds on 31 May and 01 June.

Sue Sullivan, chief executive CINZ, said more than 190 exhibitors from 19 regions will participate.

“New Zealand has built a reputation as a dream destination for business and leisure. Our exhibition will not only focus on this country’s excellent infrastructure and fabulous new city venues, but also on our amazing regional diversity. There is so much to do in one small country, and it is easy to get here, explore and experience,” said Sullivan.

The event is free to attend for event planners. Those from overseas and outside Auckland who meet selection criteria will be fully-hosted for their trip to New Zealand with the support of principal sponsor Air New Zealand and supporting hotels in Auckland city.  Pre-scheduled appointments allow buyers to meet a choice of exhibitors from across New Zealand under one roof, with 35 appointments in two days.

The mart includes a pre-touring program for Australian hosted buyers to a choice of 10 different regions, starting on 26 May while Auckland Convention Bureau is hosting a big day out exploring the city before the welcome function on 30 May. After the event, Australian hosted buyers are also offered the opportunity to visit Middle Earth at the Hobbiton movie set in the Waikato region.

Final applications for exhibitor bookings close on Friday 17 March. 

Applications for the hosted buyer program close on 03 April.
