About us

Conferenz is NZ’s largest and most respected conference and training company. We provide conferences and summits under our Conferenz brand and public and in-house training courses under our Bright*Star brand.

We have been providing conferences and training for NZ’s corporates and public sector for over 16 years.

 Owned by Steve Scott, Conferenz is proudly NZ-owned and operated. We are also proud to play a significant part in the NZ community through our charitable, environmental and sustainable initiatives.


How we do it -

Our expertise as an organisation lies in identifying information and training needs for your industry sector or job function. We then design timely, customised conference or training programmes to address these needs.

Often mistaken for simply an event management company, our true talent is researching business issues and information and skill needs. Of course, excellence in conference/training delivery is a given with us, as we deliver 100 conferences and over 400 training days each year.




As part of our research each year, we closely monitor business and government policy trends. Where significant policy, legislative or business shifts are detected, we immediately act to arrange significant business forums where these trends can be debated in a neutral arena. 



Conferenz and Bright*Star will continue to set the precedent for the provision of world-class conferences and training for enterprising New Zealanders.

Quite simply, our vision is to provide relevant, topical and timely business information and knowledge to specific target markets – quality information you need, when you need it , from experts in the market. Each year we originate, research and host 100 of NZ’s most well-regarded business conferences and summits.
 

We want to help you find your next great idea. We will help you find new people and new ideas to do your business better. We want every participant to return from our conferences with five great ideas and five new key contacts. That’s how we contribute to the business communities we serve.
