Following a hugely successful Taste of Auckland event last year, the team has been working hard on new innovations to ensure that the festival remains at the cutting edge of the food, drink and lifestyle scene. This includes a new layout for the event and a new exciting line-up which will be announced over the coming months.
This year’s event will have an emphasis on interactive, engaging brand experiences. If you have something outside of the box you think will work well at the festival, now is the time to get in contact.
Repeat bookings for corporate hospitality have been strong, with a Gala Dinner on Thursday opening night, champagne lunch on the Friday and a Saturday evening special event in addition to the ever popular Garden Suites. Taste of Auckland is now taking new bookings so parties interested in entertaining clients at Taste this year can now take advantage of this opportunity.
Exhibitor stands start at $1,495+GST and options include a fully serviced stand space with marquee space, flooring, walling, 10-amp power and lighting included, as well as a range of bespoke marquee structures for brands looking to make a big impact.
