CINZ launches 2019 Emerging Talent and Mentorship programmes

Registrations are now open for New Zealand’s CINZ 2019 Emerging Talent programme, to be held as a half-day workshop at Rydges Hotel Auckland on 27 June. Conventions and Incentives New Zealand (CINZ) Chief Executive, Sue Sullivan says Emerging Talent 2019 has been designed to inspire, educate and provide a platform for attendees to learn practical skills and take-aways. “The new workshop-style programme came out of our successful trial at the CINZ Conference in Auckland last year, where we added an Emerging Talent stream within the main conference programme. This half-day session received great feedback, with both domestic and international speakers delivering strong, useful and expert content in an inspirational learning space,” Sullivan says. The day before, 26 June, the CINZ 2019 Mentorship Programme will run, at the Heritage Hotel Auckland. “Running these programmes concurrently will give those who participate as a mentee, particularly those that come from out of Auckland, the opportunity for an easily accessible day of education at the Emerging Talent programme, a day after being paired with their mentor,” Sullivan adds. Applications for the CINZ Mentorship programme, now in its fifth year, will open on 25 March on the CINZ website. The CINZ Mentorship programme will run from 26 June until 18 December, with fortnightly contact. CINZ members can register online here for the CINZ Emerging Talent programme. CINZ is the official, membership-based association of New Zealand’s conference and business travel industry with 430 members across a range of sectors.
