What ForumPoint2 Conference Partners does

ForumPoint2 Conference Partners (also trading as FP2) is a privately-held New Zealand professional services firm headquartered in Hamilton, Waikato, that delivers conference and special event management services to organisations across multiple sectors in New Zealand. The firm was founded in 1993 and operates with a team of 8 employees, offering tailored partnership agreements covering traditional in-person conferences, online events, and hybrid formats that allow delegates to attend either physically or virtually. Its service bundle goes beyond logistical coordination to include programme format advising, health, safety, and risk management planning, rigorous financial reporting and compliance, and strategies to engage event supporters and sponsors.

The firm's only disclosed proprietary technology is encrypted software used to provide cybersecurity, financial security, and data security for events and their attendees, which it positions as a differentiated service layer. Commercial delivery is anchored by long-standing trusted partnerships with an undisclosed network of conference suppliers covering venues, AV, and catering, alongside direct, sales-led client engagement via website, phone, and email. Pricing is fully quote-based and bespoke to each client and event, with no public pricing or standard packages. The firm retains clients on a year-on-year basis and operates exclusively within New Zealand with no stated international footprint.

Recent moves3 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• Cvent: Global event management technology platform offering registration, virtual event, and event-marketing software. Comparable because it competes for the same event-organising budget that ForumPoint2's clients allocate, but via a software rather than services model.
• MCI Group: Global association and conference management firm serving professional bodies worldwide. Comparable PCO service model to ForumPoint2 but operating at much larger scale with broader international reach.
• Kenes Group: Global PCO specialising in association and scientific/professional conferences. Comparable in serving professional bodies and delivering hybrid/in-person formats, but at substantially greater scale and geographic reach than ForumPoint2.

Regional players

• ICMS Australasia: Australasian professional conference organiser delivering association and academic conference services across the region. Comparable PCO model and client base, with primary Australia weighting versus ForumPoint2's NZ base.
• Arinex: Australian-headquartered PCO delivering association and professional conference management across Australasia. Highly comparable service offering and client profile to ForumPoint2, with a trans-Tasman rather than pure NZ footprint.
