Creator's Key Takeaways
AIM is one of my favorite trade shows that we come to and um as you can see from our stand this year we have a really really great New Zealand presence at the show.
This is actually the most New Zealand partners that we've brought to an AIM show and um you know I love having this little bit of New Zealand showing up in the in the sand.
I think when I talk to people about why New Zealand for business events, it's not one specific thing. It's the way that we can bring together everything.
That's where the magic really happens. That's where an event can become transformative for delegates and that is you know kind of the the magic that New Zealand brings to business events.
