Energise Your Business!

On behalf of Plastics New Zealand, it gives me great pleasure to invite you to Nelson on the 4th and 5th of May, for the 73rd Plastics New Zealand Annual Conference.

Our venue is the Rutherford Hotel, situated in the heart of sunny Nelson, chosen for its fabulous location, ambience and amenities, in a region well known for having National Parks, sandy beaches, blue seas and mountain wilderness at your doorstep.

The South Island Branch will host this year’s event and have worked with our National Office to bring to you a compelling programme of quality presenters and invaluable networking opportunities.

Energising your business in today’s business environment where you are unable to predict a certain future is no small challenge. Creating and leading organisations that can be flexible, adaptable and able to respond to rapidly changing global, industry and market trends is a must.

Come and join us at this year’s Plastics Conference and be inspired by an outstanding array of business leaders and future thinkers who can inform, motivate and entertain. Bring your team for a thought provoking two days and steal ideas from the best. Hear about industry success stories as you mingle and network with like-minded business people.

There will also be time to be updated on and input into issues of importance to PlasticsNZ our Industry.

Other highlights include:

• Golf at Nelson Golf Course on the Wednesday prior to Conference

• A Thursday evening PNZ sponsored Networking Event

• National AGM

• A Friday night “Electric Shock” Gala Dinner with Live Entertainment.
