Previously known as the Small Business Expo, now it's called Bizzone Business Expo.  The three-day expo for business owners attracts 7500 attendees in Auckland, 3200 attendees in Wellington, and 3000 attendees in Christchurch.  It brings together every kind of product and service required by a business owner or manager.  This is the largest event for business in New Zealand and features leading international business brands through to local service providers.
