Tourism New Zealand General Manager NZ & Business Events Bjoern Spreitzer says: “We know the opportunity to explore New Zealand plays an important part in enticing delegates to attend conferences hosted here. We want to make it easy for organisers to promote their event and New Zealand to attract as many registrations as possible and ensure the success of their event.
“The how-to guides not only support organisers on their conference hosting journey, but
ensure the events held here enrich New Zealand beyond the economic impact, by
providing meaningful connections with our culture, people, and environment.”
Marketing materials will be organised by Asset Type and Region/City, and the hub also
includes a filter tool for easy use.
