EXHIBITION HIRE

Exhibition Hire have once again been contracted to assemble the stands on our behalf and can provide an extensive selection of furniture and equipment to enhance your stand. Their catalogue can be viewed at www.exhibitionhire.co.nz/download/Catalogue.pdf and our Event Co-ordinator Annie Lister will be happy to discuss your requirements with you. Contact Annie on ph 027 223 0020 or annie@exhiitionhire.co.nz.

CATERING

Morning tea and a light buffet lunch for both delegates and suppliers will be served within the Trade Expo room. The open floor plan will keep this simple and interactive and ensure your time is being used effectively while providing easy access to networking opportunities.

SUPPLIER PRIZE DRAWS

As many sponsors offer incentives or prizes in conjunction with their displays, we will again formalise this process with prize draws being conducted just before the Trade Expo lunch break. Our Support Office team will discuss details with each individual supplier on the day.

We appreciate a lot of time and effort goes into the transportation and setting up of your amazing exhibition stands. Once again we will be encouraging all of our teams to visit and meet with each supplier present and will be asking suppliers to stamp their Trade Expo passports.
