The curtains have closed on MEETINGS 2025, but the impact of this premier business events showcase will resonate for months to come. Hosted in vibrant Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, this year’s event brought together industry leaders, event professionals, and tourism operators from across Aotearoa and beyond to experience the region’s unique blend of manaaki, innovation, and cultural richness.

Auckland’s warm hospitality and business events expertise were evident at every turn, reaffirming the city’s place as a world-class destination for hosting meaningful, memorable events.

Celebrating the Treasures of Tāmaki Makaurau

Central to MEETINGS 2025 was the powerful presence of Auckland’s Māori tourism operators — the Treasures of Tāmaki Makaurau. These storytellers, guardians, and innovators infused the event with cultural depth, offering delegates a rich experience that went far beyond business.

From traditional welcomes and performances to interactive workshops and displays, the Māori partners shared their heritage, values, and enterprise with authenticity and pride. Delegates had the chance to explore their offerings and understand how indigenous culture can meaningfully enhance both leisure and business travel experiences in New Zealand.

Showcasing Auckland’s Best

MEETINGS 2025 was also a launchpad for Auckland’s top venues, attractions, and suppliers. From waterfront event spaces and luxury lodges to cutting-edge AV technology and sustainable catering solutions, the event highlighted the region’s readiness to host conferences, incentives, and large-scale meetings that leave a lasting impression.

Collaboration between partners, local businesses, and event organisers ensured that delegates walked away with a clear picture of what Auckland can deliver: world-class infrastructure, inspired storytelling, and an unmatched sense of place.
