Operating under the theme of ‘Future Fit’ the event was an insightful week that provided great networking opportunities and eye-opening experiences in the rebuilding city of Christchurch.

The ‘Future Fit” theme could not have been more relevant to where our industry is placed and for our first conference in New Zealand, Christchurch truly is a city symbolic of designing itself for the future post the earthquake,” executive general manager, Michael Gazal, said.

“Everything we create from PTM speakers, keynote speakers and supplier presentations is designed to enable our network to look to the future and ensure their relevance and prosperity as consumer demands evolve.

“As importantly the social interactions and fun activities we organised make the event relaxed, engaging and motivated to promote the Canterbury region which can really do with an injection of tourism dollars.”

At this conclusion of this years event, Michael Gazal announced that the 2024 National Conference will be held from 12-14 September in north Queensland at the Cairns Convention Centre.
