Attending MEETINGS 2021 will be incredibly valuable to our company, as it will help us to expand our business even more into New Zealand. We always find it to be extremely important to have a wealth of information regarding possible destinations for upcoming events, as the more we know the better we can sell to our ideas to clients. In this current Covid landscape where overseas travel will be few and far between, we certainly want to try and host more and more events closer to home in New Zealand so this will be a fantastic opportunity.
