MEETINGS, which gets underway today (Tuesday 10 June) in Auckland, is a two-day event designed with flexibility in mind, and a must-attend for anyone involved in organising events, conferences, trade shows, or incentive travel programmes.
Business Events Industry Aotearoa (BEIA), New Zealand’s official industry association, owns and manages the show, which has been running since 1997. Registration for the MEETINGS Day Buyer programme is free. It is an ideal option for busy event managers who want to organise their year ahead and build their knowledge and expertise.
BEIA Head of Event Delivery, Chris Peak, says MEETINGS is the biggest gathering of business events professionals and service providers in New Zealand. “It’s a once-a-year opportunity to catch up with over 200 exhibitors from every region of New Zealand all under one roof, and to make the most of valuable networking and education sessions,” he says.
For those who want to make business bookings on the spot or seek inspiration, MEETINGS offers valuable opportunities and ideas.
“Day Buyers can attend MEETINGS for any length of time – from two hours to two days. Registration is absolutely free and comes with awesome benefits to ensure you take as much away from your experience as possible,” he says.
“This year, Day Buyers will have the option to access an online diary the week before MEETINGS kicks off, so they can secure appointments with exhibitors.”
Day Buyers enjoy a range of exclusive benefits, including priority access to the Celebrity Speakers NZ Showcase lunchtime sessions and entry to the Tourism New Zealand Knowledge and Destination Hub. Attendees travelling from outside Auckland are also eligible for a NZ$100 flight rebate and can take advantage of special industry accommodation rates.
Anyone who registered as a day buyer before MEETINGS was also in to win a special Robe Trip Experience in Rotorua.
