New Zealand Forest Industries Expo
Rotura, New Zealand
The four-yearly event will be held in Rotorua’s new, state-of-the-art $25 million purposebuilt world-class Energy Events Centre putting an end to any soggy marquees and mud underfoot which indoor exhibitors may have experienced in the past.
The organisers have a lot more scope at the Energy Events Centre. Heavy machinery such as the latest logging gear, trucks and sawmilling equipment will be well catered for with plenty of room for displays in the car park and demonstrations in a safe and controlled environment next-door.
The timing of the event and the new venue are not the only improvements for 2010. An Industry Strategy Group has been formed and are planning the event with a clean sheet of paper - its new thinking for a new decade aiming to provide solutions, great customer service and satisfaction for all. Showcasing leadership and innovation, the integrated Expo is an opportunity to bring the industry’s strategic network together. 250 exhibitors are expected showing everything from seeds and nurseries to finished products and exports. The intention is to showcase the latest innovation and technology from New Zealand companies to the world, as well as exhibits from industry players from around the globe.
