Synthony will headline the closing celebration for MEETINGS 2026 at Auckland’s New Zealand International Convention Centre on June 18.
The Electric Garden event will conclude the two-day business events exhibition run by Business Events Industry Aotearoa, which attracts meetings and events professionals from New Zealand, Australia, Asia-Pacific, China and North America.
Finale for 700 guests
Business Events Industry Aotearoa head of event delivery Chris Peak says the event will provide a high-profile finish to the annual trade show.
“The spectacular NZICC Te Paepae theatre will be transformed into a vibrant, festival-inspired garden after dark, full of bold, bright colour and pulsing with energy.”
Chris says organisers have partnered with leading event suppliers to create the experience.
“We’ve brought together New Zealand’s leading event production and design specialists. Guests can expect standout food, and live entertainment in a totally reimagined space.”
Partners include The Events Group, Auckland Convention Bureau, Flock Events, The Production Agency, NZICC and Hire Plants.
