If you are still interested in attending TRENZ 2027 but have not yet applied or registered, please log into the TRENZ portal, complete your company profile and select the option to be added to the waitlist before Friday 23 October.

Guidelines:

  • Keep the template for consistency (layout, colour, background, font, Love Taupō logo).
  • Change pictures - limit to 4 pictures max (for accommodation: an overview of the hotel, a room, the restaurant)
  • For the information, keep it concise and operational
  • Include up to 5 USPs (Being NZ owned and operated is not a USP) 
  • Trade & reservations contact details
