  Happy Birthday NZSAE – You’re Invited!

  NZSAE is turning one — and we’d love you to help us celebrate.

  Join us for a relaxed, drop-in style lunch on Friday 17 October 2025, between 11:30am and 3:00pm at the Southern Cross Garden Bar Restaurant in Wellington.

  

  Whether you stay for 30 minutes or the whole afternoon, this is your chance to catch up with peers, connect with supportive suppliers, and toast to one year of strengthening New Zealand’s association community.

  What to Expect:

  • A casual, open-door format – come when it suits you

  • Lunch on us – generously sponsored by the suppliers who support your work

  • Space to chat – designated areas for conversations about membership, advocacy, events, governance, and more

  • Spot prizes – handed out throughout the event

  • Connections that count – engage with other association professionals and the suppliers who back your mahi

  Why Attend?

  This lunch is a celebration of you – the leaders, doers, and champions of New Zealand’s membership organisations. It’s also a simple way to:

  ✔ Recharge your network
  ✔ Find inspiration from others in the sector
  ✔ Explore new supplier partnerships
  ✔ Be part of NZSAE’s growing community

  RSVP today — your lunch has already been shouted by one of our generous supplier partners.

  Supplier Options: It’s Our Birthday – Celebrate With Us!
  

  NZSAE is turning one, and we’d love for you to be part of the celebration.

  Over the past year, we’ve brought together association professionals from across Aotearoa to connect, collaborate, and strengthen the incredible organisations they lead. As suppliers to this vital sector, you’ve played an important role in making that happen — and now, we want to celebrate with you.

  On Friday 17 October 2025, we’re hosting a relaxed, drop-in style birthday lunch at the Southern Cross in Wellington from 11:30am to 3:00pm.

  It’s not a tradeshow or a formal function — it’s a chance to gather, share kai, and recognise the impact of associations in New Zealand.

  We’re inviting suppliers to join us and help host the lunch by shouting a meal or two for the association professionals. In return, you’ll be part of a meaningful, face-to-face opportunity to reconnect with association leaders — the people who are shaping communities, professions, and industries across New Zealand.

  This is your chance to:

  • Celebrate a milestone for NZSAE and the wider sector
  • Be visible as a supporter of associations in Aotearoa
  • Build new relationships and reconnect with existing clients in a warm, low-pressure setting
  • Join conversations happening on the day about membership, events, advocacy, and the future of associations

  How Supplier Participation Works
  To take part, we ask that you:
  

  • Sponsor two or more Association Executive lunches ($120 each – minimum $360)

  • Attend the lunch yourself

  • Bring along a spot prize to give away during the afternoon

  Once you register, we’ll be in touch to confirm your place and, in consultation with you, we’ll assign your name to the complimentary lunch registrations — so our guests know who made their lunch possible.

  Association executives can come for 30 minutes or stay for the whole afternoon — it’s a celebration, not a schedule.

  All suppliers who work with associations are welcome, and we’d be proud to have you by our side as we toast to a fantastic first year.
