WEDNESDAY 15 MAY

4.00pm	REGISTRATION OPENS
	Registration opens at Trinity Wharf Hotel from 4pm onwards.

5.30pm	WELCOME COCKTAILS
	The convention starts with a Welcome Function at the Trinity Wharf Hotel for all delegates, speakers, sponsors and partners. With most people travelling to attend the convention, drinks and nibbles are welcomed, along with the opportunity to catch up with old friends as well as network with those we may only meet in person once a year.

7.00pm	QUIZ NIGHT sponsored by
	The Quiz night is an amazing and fun way to get into the swing of the convention. While there is strong competition during the night, there is no way for anyone to prepare for the questions, so everyone has a chance to win! Everyone is invited, and we encourage you to make up a team and enjoy the fun. Food are served throughout the night and there will be a cash bar. This year it will be at The Crown & Badger, 91 The Strand, Tauranga, a short walk along the waterfront from Trinity Wharf. Thank you once again to Brenntag for sponsoring and organising this event.
