Testimonials

What Others Say

 "We were very happy to be able to take a leading sponsorship role at the inaugural NZ Marketing Summit in 2012. It was as much an event about ideas and innovation, as it was about the practical day-to-day challenges that marketers face. Conferenz are a professional outfit who looked after their customers - delegates and sponsors - very well. As sponsors, we walked away from the Summit having met all our objectives." - Nigel Tutt, GM Digital, Fairfax NZ

'We were extremely happy with the 2011 Cloud Services and Security Summit event. Good content was provided through a mix of technical 'gurus' and  case studies to relay the real 'war stories' that the delegates enjoy hearing. As a result of the good content, the audience contained a good number at decision-maker level. These two elements are essential to get right to create a platform of value for a sponsor, and I compliment the Bright*Star team for achieving that. Many thanks to Dominic and the whole team for helping making the event a success!' - Ryan Ashton, Brand  Manager, ICONZ and 2Day.com

‘ITEX 2010 was a successful event for Chillisoft. I feel it will be the 'Brightest Star' of our conference agenda year on year for IT in New Zealand and it was great to be a part of it.’ - Shirley Wigley, Chillisoft Ltd

'Well done on a good event.  I can't speak for the content as I didn't get to see much of it, however the calibre of attendee and the dinner were both of a very high standard, as was the organisation.'
- Richard Penny, Marketing Manager, Fuji Xerox New Zealand [CIO Summit 2010]

‘Thank you for your assistance and commitment to Enprise and SAP for the 17th  One Stop Update. We really enjoyed the show and feel that we have received great benefit for being part of it.’
- Leanne Graham, Sales & Marketing Director, Enprise Solutions Limited

‘Tuatara have proudly sponsored the One Stop Events for the past 3 years and thoroughly enjoy working with the professional team at Conferenz.

“On behalf of Robert Half International, I would like to thank you and the rest of the Conferenz team for your assistance with regards to our principal sponsorship at the recent One Stop Update for the Accountant in Business.

We consider the One Stop event an ideal platform to reach our target market and we benefited greatly from our involvement with this premier event for accounting and finance professionals. We enjoyed being involved in the conference and look forward to continuing our relationship with Conferenz for future events” - Skye Murray, Marketing & PR Manager Australia & New Zealand, Robert Half International
