Exhibitor spaces and hosted buyer spots are in high demand for New Zealand’s business events industry showcase MEETINGS 2025 set for 11 to 12 June.
Business Events Industry Aotearoa’s says its MEETINGS is returning to Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland for the first time in four years, with more than 200 of New Zealand’s venues, regions and services on show at Auckland Showgrounds.
BEIA Chief Executive, Lisa Hopkins says in a statement that Aotearoa New Zealand is “incredibly appealing” to business events professionals who organise conferences, corporate meetings, tradeshows and incentive travel.
“We have received a fantastic response from the industry and exhibition spaces are nearly sold out, while hosted buyer positions for Australian and New Zealand organisers are in hot demand.”
Exhibitor applications close on 4 March. The organisation says first-time exhibitors or those returning after a five-year break can secure a cost-effective presence at MEETINGS 2025 with a handful of entry-level spaces left.
