BEIA launches new website delivering comprehensive digital planning tool

With Business Events Industry Aotearoa (BEIA) having a goal to create the definitive guide to business events in New Zealand, a new website has been launched by the association for members and clients which includes a comprehensive digital planning tool.

Lisa Hopkins, BEIA Chief Executive advised “we are incredibly proud to be launching this new resource. Everything organisers need to know about planning a business event in New Zealand is now at their fingertips in one interactive site.”

Membership information, regional insights, news updates, events and programmes, industry stats and other useful resources are all easily accessed via the new site.

BEIA's online planning tool replaces the printed Event Planners' Guide, produced for 30 years and fondly known as the 'Industry Bible'.

Developed within the website, it has been designed to assist clients searching for their next event destination and venue. Event planners can find and select regions and suppliers based on their individual requirements.

BEIA demonstrated the new planning tool to clients at MEETINGS 2024 in Rotorua last month.

Hopkins added “the feedback we received was overwhelmingly enthusiastic. Comments included: 'Love this!', 'This is going to save me hours of googling', and 'Thank you BEIA, you've just made my job a lot easier!'.”

BEIA is inviting feedback on the new planning tool. All those interested in more information can contact BEIA Member Relationship Manager, Nicky Tilsley directly at nicky.tilsley@beia.co.nz
