We know that behind every exceptional event is a team of passionate people working through their fair share of event day stress. Connecting with those industry legends in person is what keeps our team inspired.

This week, our CEO Reece Preston and CCO Sarah Cowley attended the New Zealand Events Association (NZEA) Eventing The Future conference and annual awards. It was a privilege to stand alongside so many promoters, venue teams, and industry innovators dedicated to shaping the future of live experiences in Aotearoa.

Honouring the best in Aotearoa's events industry

The annual NZEA awards showcase the incredible talent, grit, and creativity across our local industry. We were thrilled to see so many of our promoter and venue partners recognised for their outstanding work.

A special shoutout goes to the team behind Art Deco Napier for their nomination and Kia Mau Festival, who took home the award for Arts, Cultural or Heritage Event of the Year. Seeing our partners achieve this level of national recognition reinforces why we do what we do.
