New Zealand’s capital, Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington, is set to host New Zealand’s largest business events showcase MEETINGS 2023 next week, the first time it has been held in the city.
Staged by Business Events Industry Aotearoa (BEIA), MEETINGS will be held on June 21 and 22. And for the first time in four years, buyers from international markets including Asia and North America will also be in attendance.
Over 100 buyers from Australia, 134 hosted buyers from New Zealand and 10 from international markets including North America and Singapore will attend. Up to 300 day buyers from Wellington and around New Zealand have also registered.
Over the two days, and across two floors at Tākina, buyers can pre-schedule appointments of their choice from 224 stands across 19 regions of New Zealand.
Many Australian-hosted buyers are set to stay on and discover more with the support of Air New Zealand and regional business events bureaux. They can choose to visit Auckland, Taupō, Rotorua, Waikato, Hawke’s Bay, Marlborough, Christchurch and Canterbury, Dunedin, Queenstown and Southland/Fiordland.
A range of professional development sessions are also part of MEETINGS. They include the Tourism New Zealand Knowledge and Destination Hub, Celebrity Speakers Showcase, and a Professional Conference Organisers (PCO) Masterclass.
Registrations are still open for day buyer positions. The event is free to attend.
