The convention starts with a Welcome Function at the Trinity Wharf Hotel for all delegates, speakers, sponsors and partners.

QUIZ NIGHT sponsored by
The Quiz night is an amazing and fun way to get into the swing of the convention. While there is strong competition during the night, there is no way for anyone to prepare for the questions, so everyone has a chance to win!
Everyone is invited, and we encourage you to make up a team and enjoy the fun. Food are served throughout the night and there will be a cash bar.
This year it will be at The Crown & Badger, 91 The Strand, Tauranga, a short walk along the waterfront from Trinity Wharf.
Thank you once again to Brenntag for sponsoring and organising this event.

Get ready to unleash your creativity and paint the town with the vibrant palette of the kiwifruit! This year, as we embrace the theme ‘Green, Gold, and Ruby Red’, we’re not just celebrating these colors, we’re celebrating your imagination. We can’t wait to see the ingenious ways you’ll bring this theme to life. Will you be a dazzling gold kiwi, a bold green vine, or a rare ruby red delight? The orchard of ideas is ripe for the picking, and we’re eager to feast our eyes on your brilliant interpretations. Let’s make this dinner a masterpiece of merriment and color!
