Shipleys: New Zealand Event Technology Expertise Built on Nearly a Century of Experience

Shipleys

For business events where technology, creativity and reliable delivery matter, Christchurch-based Shipleys brings almost a century of experience to the table.

A family-owned New Zealand company established in 1926, Shipleys has evolved alongside the rapidly changing world of audiovisual technology. Today, its specialist teams provide event technology, audiovisual services, videography, production, hybrid event solutions and technology integration throughout New Zealand.

Shipleys was one of the exhibitors at MEETINGS 2026, New Zealand's leading business events trade show, where its expertise in event technology and production was showcased to the business events industry.

Creating Professional Corporate Events

Shipleys works with organisations delivering conferences, meetings, award dinners, networking events, product launches and large-scale productions.

Its corporate event services bring together sound, vision, lighting, technical direction and videography, allowing event organisers to concentrate on their delegates and objectives while the technical team manages the production requirements.

The company can work across events of different sizes and formats, providing solutions tailored to the venue, audience and event objectives.

Hybrid Events That Connect Audiences

Shipleys

Hybrid events have become an important part of the business events landscape, connecting people attending in person with participants joining remotely.

Shipleys has more than a decade of experience in hybrid events and provides broadcast-quality solutions designed to make online participation feel naturally connected to the live event.

Its services include hybrid conferences, live streaming, interactive webinars and video conferencing solutions, enabling presenters and delegates to participate from different locations.

From Event Videography to Promotional Content

An event can generate valuable content long after the final delegate has left the venue.

Shipleys' Production team provides event videography, live streaming, video editing, promotional videos and creative content. Event recap videos, speaker clips, social media reels and other content can help organisations promote future events and extend the life of their investment.

The company's history in visual storytelling stretches back decades. In 1952, Shipleys demonstrated a television broadcast at the Christchurch Industries Fair, years before television officially launched in New Zealand.

Technology Supporting New Zealand Business Events

Beyond individual events, Shipleys provides audiovisual system design and installation for corporate environments, hotels, hospitality venues, theatres, education facilities, government and other organisations.

Its services can include networked audiovisual technology, room control systems and integrated solutions designed to make modern workplaces and event spaces easier to operate.

With its combination of event technology, production and audiovisual expertise, Shipleys continues a family-owned New Zealand business tradition that began in 1926 while embracing the technologies shaping the future of business events.
