Your efforts to learn the "workings" of our Society and implement them into the planning and organizing of the meeting were most appreciated. Your friendly and accommodating attitude toward our Fellows was not unnoticed. You ran this meeting as "one of us" rather than as an outside firm just doing a job. Each and every need of every individual was met with empathy and follow-through.

Convention Management New Zealand is currently the only 'Certified Event Company' (CEC) operating in New Zealand. This certification is issued by the Australasian Professional Conference Organisers Association.

---------------------------------------------------

When you undertake to organise an international, national or corporate conference or congress, you are putting the image and integrity of your business on show for all to see. Everything must be perfect, so it is reassuring to know that you have an experienced, professional team at your disposal, dedicated to making the task easier and more enjoyable.

Convention Management is New Zealand's longest established professional conference organiser (PCO). In 25+ years we have organised over 500 successful national and international meetings of all types and sizes, from small symposiums to major international congresses drawing several thousand delegates.

Because every event is unique, we offer modular services to tailor your conference to your exact specifications. You may choose to entrust us with the entire process in a comprehensive management role, or simply supplement your own resources with specialised assistance.

Either way, we welcome the opportunity to discuss your individual requirements and help you create a truly first class conference experience.
