MEETINGS postponed due to COVID-19 measures

Following the New Zealand Prime Minister’s announcements, it is with great regret and sadness we announce the postponement of MEETINGS in Auckland, which was scheduled for 22 and 23 April. We have sought the advice of our industry members and clients and have been heartened with the huge level of support for MEETINGS. However, we have been given a clear mandate to postpone our April event. I can assure you the CINZ team and our partners are working to evaluate other options for MEETINGS, and we will announce these plans as soon as we can. CINZ continues to be the strong voice of the business events industry. Our role is to advocate for the power of business events to aid economic recovery. We have set up direct dialogue with the government regarding the specific impacts of COVID-19 on the sector. Thank you for all your heartfelt support for CINZ and for each other. It is in extraordinary times like this that we come together, that relationships cultivated over time become the foundations for what will support our recovery. Make no mistake, the contribution this industry brings to New Zealand’s economy is substantial and therefore deserves to be recognised. We will continue to keep you informed, as we learn more and as the situation progresses.
