Tourism New Zealand is searching for top academics, industry trailblazers and association leaders to bid for and host international conferences in New Zealand.
Tourism New Zealand General Manager Domestic & Business Events Bjoern Spreitzer says:
“We want to inspire our top thinkers to come forward and bid for these prestigious events. Tourism New Zealand’s experienced Business Event team offers strategic funding and support to help them throughout the process.
“Attracting engaged bid champions amongst our academia and industry leaders is integral to demonstrating New Zealand’s attractiveness as a knowledge destination and to winning international conferences.
“Hosting an international conference brings a range of benefits, to the host themselves, their organisation and field of expertise, and to New Zealand. These include the exchange of knowledge and ideas, influencing positive social change, building international networks, attracting investment, showcasing and attracting talent, and enhancing global reputation.”
To attract bid champions, Tourism New Zealand is running the 2022 “Calling for You” campaign, featuring pioneers and visionaries in sectors ranging from education to evolutionary computation, public health, and robot learning, all of whom have successfully bid for a major international conference in their field of expertise.
It will centre on targeted media and university communications channels.
