WELCOME
The Holiday Parks NZ Conference & Expo is the annual gathering of holiday park owners, operators, managers and industry partners from across Aotearoa. It’s where our sector comes together to share knowledge, celebrate success, and shape the future of holiday parks.
This year the event will be held in Hamilton from 28 to 30 July 2026.
Guided by the theme Where People Meet Place, this year’s conference explores how connection – between people, communities and the places we care for – sits at the heart of exceptional guest experiences and strong, future-ready parks.
2026 THEME
WHERE PEOPLE MEET PLACE: EVOLVING PARKS, ENRICHING GUESTS
Holiday parks are more than places to stay. They are spaces where people connect – with each other, with nature, and with the communities around them. As guest expectations change and our industry continues to evolve, the way we design, manage and operate our parks must evolve too.
This year’s theme reflects the unique role holiday parks play at the intersection of people and place. Across the programme, we’ll explore how thoughtful leadership, innovation, sustainability and design can strengthen those connections and enrich the experiences we create for every guest.
