It will include all the countdown information you will need to attend this event. Sales and Display Booths You need to get in quickly and reserve your space in case you miss out on your ideal location whether it be for display or sales purposes. These spaces will go quickly. Start thinking about displays now and possible themes Guest Speakers & Out of Town Visitors We will be looking for people who would be willing to billet visitors and out of town speakers. Billeting speakers is a great way to get to know them. It also provides overseas speakers with a unique opportunity to experience New Zealand life; which they will miss out if they stayed in motels and hotels. If you would consider this, please contact us at the above email address or phone one of the Committee. Taken at the 7th Int’l Orchid Expo in Taranaki
