Broaden your horizons and reap the benefits

The team at Tourism New Zealand knows AuSAE’s membership is full of dedicated and passionate leaders working for the good of your organisations. They also know that you are extremely busy people, which is why they are here to help. Tourism New Zealand is looking for key decision makers and influencers who want to tap into the world-leading research and development taking place in their sector within New Zealand.

They want people with the foresight to reach out to other leading associations, research institutes and academic facilities to build relationships and collaborate for joint research, innovation or investment. They want leaders who wish to future-proof their organisations, attracting new talent and new ideas, by holding a joint or an international conference with their counterparts in New Zealand.

New Zealand is a fantastic destination for international conferences. Its stunning landscapes and unique culture make it an attractive draw for visitors, increasing conference attendance. The appeal of an 'off-shore' event is married with ease of access and ease of doing business. Kiwis are creative, innovative people with the professional reputation and drive to create conference agendas bursting with the best in knowledge and networking opportunities. The country's conference and accommodation infrastructure provides the framework for an excellent event, with off-site options that are easily accessible, wonderfully diverse and instantly memorable.

What are the benefits for you? You and your colleagues can network with and learn from New Zealand's experts in your respective field. Your event's professional development and education programme will be refreshed and reinvigorated by new perspectives and ideas. You can create a legacy for your organisation by sourcing and recruiting new members as well as impressing and retaining your existing ones. And it is your time to shine: An international conference will raise the profile of your organisation and industry sector, not only amongst your peers, but locally and internationally.

So how can Tourism New Zealand help you? Assistance includes: facilitating a financial feasibility study for the conference; covering travel and accommodation costs on bespoke familiarisation trips with tailored itineraries, and introducing you to your New Zealand counterparts, as well as the local convention bureaux and suppliers who can help you deliver your best-ever event on New Zealand soil.

Moreover, the experienced Business Events Team can support you with a toolkit of resources and marketing material, from fact sheets to pre and post-event itineraries, professional images and videos, to the Essential NZ App, to help you achieve your delegate attendance objectives. Tourism New Zealand loves conferences and is happy to offer experience and advice every step of the way, so you can hold the best event possible.

It’s a win-win situation. Contact Tourism New Zealand, and start organising an international conference that goes Beyond Convention.
