In the heart of New Zealand’s picturesque landscape, Rotorua prepares to unveil its most ambitious and dynamic business event to date: MEETINGS 2024. This June, the Energy Events Centre will become a nexus of inspiration, innovation, and connection, drawing industry professionals from across the globe to a showcase that promises to redefine the standards of business events in Aotearoa.

MEETINGS 2024, organized by Business Events Industry Aotearoa (BEIA), marks its 28th iteration as an indispensable platform for professionals orchestrating conferences, meetings, product launches, and incentives. With 230 stands already claimed and hosted buyer slots rapidly filling, the event is on course to shatter previous records, echoing the industry’s resilience and burgeoning growth.

BEIA Chief Executive Lisa Hopkins articulates the essence of MEETINGS 2024 as an event and a transformative experience. “This year’s MEETINGS is an essential destination for those steering the helm of business events in New Zealand,” Hopkins asserts. She emphasizes the event’s tailored approach, offering free registration to its day buyer program without binding attendees to a rigid schedule. The initiative underscores a commitment to enriching the participant experience with knowledge and new opportunities.

A hallmark of MEETINGS 2024 is its strategic innovation in fostering networking and engagement. Beyond the conventional itinerary, the event introduces appointment-free mornings and a dedicated networking slot at day one’s conclusion, designed to catalyze meaningful connections. Additionally, day buyers enjoy priority access to select educational sessions, including a pre-MEETINGS workshop titled ‘Networking with Intent’, and a unique Team Up Events activity aimed at embodying corporate social responsibility through team building.

Adding to the allure, day buyers spending the night in Rotorua on June 19th are treated to a range of complimentary activities that showcase the region’s natural beauty and cultural heritage. From the rejuvenating Wai Ariki Hot Springs and Spa to the enchanting Hell’s Gate geothermal mud spa, attendees are invited to immerse themselves in Rotorua’s unique offerings. This gesture extends beyond leisure, reflecting Rotorua’s hospitable spirit and status as a premier destination for business and relaxation.

Transportation conveniences, such as the complimentary coach service from Auckland, shuttle buses from Rotorua airport, and a $100 flight rebate for attendees, underscore BEIA’s commitment to accessibility and attendee satisfaction. These thoughtful arrangements ensure a seamless experience for all participants, emphasizing the importance of inclusivity and comfort.

The event’s opening on June 18th at the Sir Howard Morrison Centre is anticipated to be a welcome spectacle, setting the stage for two days of unparalleled business insight, collaboration, and innovation. With additional options like educational lunches and an exclusive Hobbiton™ Movie Set Tour, MEETINGS 2024 not only celebrates business achievements but also the rich cultural tapestry and breathtaking landscapes of New Zealand.
