MEETINGS kicked off with laughs, sharing and photos in Rotorua yesterday, with exhibitors offering buyers more than destination updates.

Vintage photo booths were set up by Ambassador for Napier, Bertie and Wellington NZ while Event Impressions offered photos composed by a modern green screen and digital retouching.

Sweets of all kinds floated across the Energy Events Centre in Rotorua as well as other take home souvenirs including nail filers, pens and notepads.
