About C&I NZ Expo
The Convenience & Impulse NZ Expo and the C&I Industry Symposium are highlights of the FMCG calendar, bringing together convenience retailers and suppliers from all groups and brands throughout New Zealand for two days of product discovery, networking, and business building.
The C&I NZ Expo is devoted to the needs of retail owners and operators of petrol stations, convenience stores, dairies, corner stores, newsagents, mini marts, independent groceries, foodservice locations, and take-aways.
A renowned launchpad for innovative and on-trend products, Expo visitors will discover the latest in convenience snacking, hot & cold beverages, accessories, foodservice and forecourt equipment, display, services and merchandising solutions to improve both their bottom line and their in-store offer. Visitors can attend our morning Symposium sessions where best practice, category insights, international trends and advocacy updates are presented by industry experts.
Showcasing over 70 specialist suppliers and welcoming hundreds of retail visitors in one location, C&I NZ Expo creates unique opportunities for discovery and growth, while giving you back time to spend on your own business.
C&I NZ Expo is held in Auckland every two years and admission to the Expo is free. Tickets to the Industry Symposium will be on sale in a few weeks. Sign up below to receive pre-sale notification.
The C&I Expos in New Zealand and Australia are brought to you by the team behind Australia's largest Convenience magazine, C&I Retailing. Australia's C&I Expo is held annually, alternating between Sydney and Melbourne.
