Get your greens and florals on as we're celebrating being in 'The Garden City' of New Zealand for the first time with the appropriately themed 'TSANZ Garden Party'. Think flora and fauna as you join your friends and colleagues in the beautiful Waitaki and Rakaia River Rooms that overlook the Ōtākaro Avon River to enjoy a relaxed stand up dinner featuring the best of NZ's local cuisine and even enjoy a garden game or two. It's not to be missed and a great opportunity to celebrate the close of the conference and make those all-important contacts.
