We’re excited to invite you to join us on Tuesday 1 October for our Tourism Industry Forum: Inspiring Growth Together. This is a chance for us to come together as an industry, share insights, and explore new opportunities for collaboration and growth.
This event is open to anyone in the visitor economy space, that includes cellar doors, restaurants, transport and retail.
Our industry Guest Speakers for the forum are:
- Bjoern Spreitzer – General Manager New Zealand & Business Events, Tourism New Zealand
- Mike Vincent – Head of Aviation, Wellington Airport
- Ryan Lock – General Manager – Port & Marine, Port Marlborough
- Tom Hallam – Founder, Carbon Trails
A great line up of discussion as we discover what’s on the horizon for tourism, and how we can leverage these partnerships to strengthen our region and support your business.
Panel Discussion
The forum will feature two panel discussions focused on current industry challenges and opportunities. You’ll also have the chance to engage directly with our guest speakers during Q&A sessions — sparking fresh ideas, encouraging innovation, and building capability across our sector.
This forum is about more than just presentations; it’s about connecting, learning, and inspiring growth together. We look forward to seeing you there. Register your attendance in the link below.
After the forum, we then invite you to join us upstairs at the Wine & Food experience for drinks and networking.
In an effort to reduce our footprint, we will not be providing sticker name badges and encourage you to bring your own lanyard with a business card/your name.
