PARTNER WITH HNZ27
Hospitality New Zealand is proud to present HNZ27 at the NZICC Auckland - our national conference and the LION Hospitality New Zealand Awards for Excellence 2027, taking place Monday 21- Tuesday 22 June 2027.
Under the theme Built on Legacy. Reaching for Tomorrow. HNZ27 marks 125 years of Hospitality New Zealand and brings together operators, leaders, and partners from across Aotearoa's hospitality and accommodation sector for two days of connection, ideas, and celebration of industry excellence.
Sponsorship offers meaningful exposure across one or both events, with direct engagement in front of the operators and decision-makers shaping the future of the industry.
