event: retail meat new Zealand butchers’ summit
Butchers’ Summit, the retail meat sectors’ annual conference.
Purpose
The Butchers' Summit aims to provide a platform for our members to network, foster relationships and create longstanding industry connections. Our speakers will engage with topics of today and the future, to challenge, motivate, and inspire new ideas and fresh perspectives, allowing delegates to apply new insights in their businesses, to maximise their successes.
Our delegates include independent butchers, supermarket butchery managers, wholesalers, processors, and industry suppliers, making this one of the most significant networking opportunities for our retail meat sector.
Format
We’ve changed up the format this year, with the dinner now taking place on the Thursday evening. We also have the Thursday morning activity and for the first time, we are including a workshop before the conference commences. Friday is a full day and, we will finish late afternoon, with an optional networking drinks on offer for Friday evening.
Networking
Our networking lineup features golf at Titirangi Golf Course on Thursday morning, and the Balancing Act workshop in the early afternoon on the same day. The Locker Room Meat Up welcome drinks plus conference dinner on Thursday evening and the optional Behemoth conference afterparty post-conference on Friday evening.
