New Zealand Major Events

New Zealand has a growing reputation as a world-class events destination. Ensuring we remain competitive on the world stage is a key contributor to the prosperity of all New Zealanders.

New Zealand Major Events is a unit within the Ministry of Tourism. The unit is responsible for administering the Major Events Development Fund, providing secretariat support to the Inter-Agency Events Group (IAEG) and developing a new National Events Strategy.

The IAEG is a group of representatives from twelve government agencies such as Tourism New Zealand, New Zealand Trade and Enterprise and Creative New Zealand, which have an interest in major events.

New Zealand Major Events provides sponsorship funding to major events that build a dynamic nation and produce significant economic and social benefits.
