A solid calendar of contracted events for the key venues of Aotea Centre, Shed 10 and Viaduct Events Centre is building through to the end of 2025, reports Richard Dodds, manager - convention sales for Auckland Convention Venues & Events (ACVE), and the Business Events Expo is just one of them. Although BEE is just one day in in a year of action, it punches above its weight. “Getting our dedicated conventions team in front of customers in a face-to-face situation is super important for our business to capitalise on these green shoots,” says Dodds.“What better way than attendance at the Business AUCKLAND CONVENTION VENUES & EVENTS BACKS BEE BEE24 Events Expo in November? It’s an excellent opportunity to bring New Zealand’s venues and operators together with quality event organisers to do business.” He notes that with 11 Auckland venues in the ACVE portfolio – from stadiums, to convention centre CBD locations, to on the water banquet venues, there is always something new to sell and something new to learn. Improving business sentiment has driven a significant volume of short-lead business for the end of the year across these sites, he says. ACVE is supporting the Business Events Expo for the second year.
