Scheduled for 17 and 18 June, the event will host over 250 leading New Zealand product and service providers at the newly opened New Zealand International Convention Centre (NZICC) in Auckland. Organised by Business Events Industry Aotearoa (BEIA), the 29th edition of MEETINGS promises an unparalleled opportunity for buyers to engage with the country's diverse business events sector.
Lisa Hopkins, BEIA Chief Executive, highlighted the significance of the event, stating, "Meeting all of New Zealand under one roof at the country's latest and largest convention centre will be an unmissable experience." The event will feature engaging dialogues with industry experts and innovators, offering a platform for networking and knowledge exchange.
Hosted buyers will benefit from a comprehensive package, including complimentary travel from Air New Zealand, accommodation at one of 16 host hotels, and invitations to all official social functions. The experience begins with the Auckland Host City Famil on 16 June, with additional pre and post-event programmes available for Australian buyers.
Day buyers are also welcome to attend without prescheduled appointments, providing flexibility for those exploring business opportunities in New Zealand. Applications for the Hosted Buyer programme close on 10 April 2026. With limited spaces available, early applications are encouraged to secure preferred destinations
