Due to overwhelming demand for exhibitor sites and our commitment to keeping the event fresh and diverse each year, exhibitor sites are not rolled over, and no right of refusal is offered to current or historic exhibitors.

Preference will be given to those in the primary sector, those with sustainability as a key focus and NZ owned and made local businesses.
