AUCKLAND, Today: Last night’s New Zealand Events Association’s (NZEA) annual Event Awards were celebrated at a gala dinner in Ōtautahi/Christchurch.
Further to this, Rugby World Cup 2021 won Best Major or Mega Event 2023 and Best Sports Event 2023.
“The festival is one of only a handful in New Zealand that were able to present during the Covid pandemic years of 2020 and 2021 and was particularly successful in changing its marketing strategy to attract local attendees to replace those unable to attend due to travel restrictions and health concerns.
