HNZ26 brought together New Zealand's largest and most impactful hospitality and accommodation conference - a flagship event celebrating operators, leaders, changemakers, and innovators from across the motu.
On 23 and 24 June 2026, Rotorua - the cultural heart of Aotearoa - played host to an extraordinary two days of connection, conversation, and community. HNZ26 was manaakitanga in action: the generosity of spirit, the strength in showing up together, and the shared drive to keep moving our industry forward.
From keynote speakers and expert panels to a buzzing trade exhibition and evenings that showcased everything great about our sector - HNZ26 was everything we hoped it would be, and more.
Thank you to everyone who was part of it.
