In recent years, TRENZ has transformed. With a focus on sustainability, the exhibition was refocused and streamlined, using world-class technology to bring it all together to create a year-round experience. This included:
• A streamlined exhibition: large custom booths are cost-prohibitive and wasteful, so the exhibition was stripped back to a simpler setup with reduced pack-in requirements, waste, and additional investment in theming on top of attendance fees.
• World-class technology: TRENZ Connect has been developed to host the entire TRENZ platform, giving all delegates one central place to host all product and company information, find all event information, and enjoy a seamless TRENZ experience.
All of this has worked together to create a more sustainable event. We are committed to the goals of the New Zealand Tourism Sustainability Commitment and you can read more about our sustainability initiatives at TRENZ here.
