Got a call back the next day and had quite a chat to one of the organisers. Really surprised he’d actually bothered to do so.
Found a new venue, Taupo was becoming problematic.
These guys are pretty passionate about Sika, the outdoors industry etc. They’ve put it all on the line, hung in through Covid, lockdowns etc

I think it’s a measure of how much the industry values the show, that the likes of the Wapiti Foundation, Outfitters, , Conservators, niche manufacturers and suppliers travel so far just for a weekend.
It’s become a bit of Trade Show the industry so desperately needs in my view. Networking instead of continuous back stabbing.

If the naysayers reckon these guys are doing it all wrong, just call them, let them know, I’m sure they’d value your input…..

Otherwise buy a ticket, say hello to Todd McClay, Nicole McKee, and chillax.

Totally agree. My 2 cents - strategically time your 'drive by' of the Traeger Tent to maximise your chances of a brisket/tomahawk/pulled pork coming out of the smoker. And as for the zero-alcohol policy, there's an exhibitor on the list called 'HI IQ Liquor', and it'll be a tough task keeping the show dry with the World Cup final being televised on site early Sunday morning!
