Conference 2022

The New Zealand Cruise Association is delighted to invite you to our 2022 conference.  As many of you will be aware, COVID-19 restrictions have meant that we postponed the conference for the last two years.  We are, like you, very much looking forward to finally hold a critical face-to-face meeting and we can’t wait to see you all.

The Annual General Meeting will be held via Zoom on Wednesday 17^th August, at 10.30AM.   Details will be sent closer to the time.

The NZCA Conference will be held on Thursday 18^th August at the Aotea Centre, Auckland and we are thrilled to have a strong representation from the cruise line and tourism industry both local and international.  Panel discussions are sure to be lively and include some provocative, challenging and hot topics.

A networking function to follow at the All Blacks Experience and there will be plenty of time to mix and mingle and network with speakers and other participants.

With generous sponsorship from Auckland Unlimited Business Events, Tourism New Zealand, Cruise Lines International Association Australasia (CLIA), Port Otago, Lyttelton Port Company, Ports of Auckland Limited, Napier Port, Hassle-free Tours, Ritchies Coachlines, Hallmark Chauffeur Drive and Merchant Soap Co., we have been able to provide greatly reduced registration rates, with earlybird for members at $125.00 per person.

The 2022 conference will give all relevant stakeholders a chance to discuss during networking sessions their vision for the future of the New Zealand cruise sector.  The conference will present the best opportunity of the year to connect with cruise-focused professionals and network with the very highest levels of industry, both nationally and internationally.

We look forward to seeing you in August.

Chairman, New Zealand Cruise Association (He Waka Eke Noa)
