4.00pm	REGISTRATION OPENS
	Registration opens at Copthorne Bay of Islands from 4pm onwards.

5.30pm	WELCOME COCKTAILS sponsored by Dow
	The convention starts with a Welcome Function at the Copthorne Bay of Islands 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	THE BRENNTAG QUIZ NIGHT
	The Brenntag 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 to the Swordfish at Paihia, and we encourage you to make up a team and enjoy the fun. Drinks and food are served throughout the night. Special thanks to Brenntag for sponsoring, organising and running this fantastic event!
