The Celebrity Speakers Showcase is designed to give event professionals insight into how speakers present in a live environment — from stage presence and storytelling to engagement style and audience connection.
Across both days, the program features:
-Experienced MCs who know how to hold a room
-Speakers with diverse perspectives and lived experience
-Content spanning leadership, technology, performance, wellbeing, culture and innovation
Each lineup is intentionally curated to reflect the needs of modern conferences, corporate events and internal audiences.

Held annually, MEETINGS connects buyers and sellers from across the conference, meetings, exhibition and incentive travel sectors, creating space for conversation, collaboration and new opportunities. In 2026, MEETINGS will be hosted at the world‑class NZICC in Auckland.
