I'm passionate about connecting international associations and event organisers with Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland and showcasing why New Zealand's largest city is an exceptional destination for conferences, business events and incentive programmes.

Auckland combines the energy and sophistication of a global city with the extraordinary natural beauty New Zealand is known for. As the country's international gateway and economic powerhouse, Auckland offers world-class event infrastructure, including the new New Zealand International Convention Centre (NZICC), premium hotels and venues, Michelin-starred dining and a wealth of experiences – from harbours and islands to vineyards, beaches and native rainforest – all within easy reach.

As Business Development Manager with Auckland Convention Bureau, I work closely with associations, event organisers and our city's business, academic and industry communities to identify opportunities and help bring international events to Auckland. Being part of Tātaki Auckland Unlimited, Auckland's economic and cultural agency, gives us access to a broad network of sector leaders, experts and partners who can help strengthen bids, build connections and create events that leave a lasting impact.

Whether you're an association executive considering future conference destinations, a professional conference organiser looking for a trusted local partner, or planning your next corporate event or incentive programme, I'd love to meet you and explore what Auckland could offer.

Visit me at IMEX America on the 100% Pure New Zealand Business Events stand (F1131) and discover how your next event could come to life in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, New Zealand.
