2026 NZCTA China Business Awards

The 2026 NZCTA China Business Awards Gala Dinner will be held on Thursday 11 June 2026 at the New Zealand International Convention Centre (NZICC), Auckland.

This will be a standout evening on the business calendar. A night that combines celebration, connection and insight as we recognise excellence in the New Zealand–China business relationship. The Gala Dinner brings together senior business leaders, government representatives and partners from across the bilateral community for an occasion that is both formal and forward-looking, with the right balance of ceremony and substance.

Hosting the Awards at the NZICC marks an exciting new chapter. As Auckland’s premier purpose-built convention venue, it offers a striking, contemporary setting in the heart of the city. The scale of the space, the quality of the production environment and the sense of occasion it creates lift the Awards to another level.

The move to the NZICC reflects the ambition and maturity of the New Zealand–China economic relationship. It provides a fitting backdrop to acknowledge the businesses, leaders and entrepreneurs shaping one of New Zealand’s most significant trading partnerships.

Guests can expect a professionally curated evening that showcases finalists and winners, encourages meaningful networking, and reinforces the importance of commercial ties between our two countries. It is a rare opportunity to be in the room with those driving trade, investment and services growth in this market.

If you are engaged in business with China, or looking to deepen your involvement, this is an event not to miss.

Registrations will open shortly.
