The deadline for hosted buyer applications for Meetings 2025 is approaching, with submissions closing next week.
The event is scheduled for June 10 in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, inaugurated by a welcome event at Eden Park.
Business Events Industry Aotearoa (BEIA) chief executive, Lisa Hopkins, indicated that the two-day event will facilitate an estimated 8,000 pre-scheduled meetings.
“Hosted buyers are guaranteed to come away with new insights, new contacts and excellent business opportunities. Meeting all of New Zealand’s regions from the far north to the deep south under one roof in two days is a phenomenal experience.”
Hopkins added: “There’s a seamless balance of work and social, and a lot of learning for the key decision makers and organisers of business events from Australia and New Zealand, who will enjoy complimentary flights and accommodation as well as other incredible benefits.”
The conclusion of Meetings 2025 will be marked by a celebratory event at the Viaduct Events Centre, with the support of The Events Group, Urban Gourmet, and The Production Agency, followed by the official after-party hosted on the rooftop of QT Auckland.
Now in its 29th year, 500 business event professionals from Australia, New Zealand and international markets are set to meet with over 200 of New Zealand’s top industry suppliers, destinations and operators at MEETINGS 2025.
Hosted buyers receive a customised pre-scheduled appointment diary meeting 30 exhibitors across two days, and a range of pre- and post-familiarisation tour options in Auckland and around the country.
Hosted buyer applications can be made on the MEETINGS 2025 website. Registrations for the MEETINGS day buyer programme open in mid-April.
