Chris Peake.
Chris Peak is joining Business Events Industry Aotearoa (BEIA) next week as events manager, responsible for BEIA’s key events including the annual MEETINGS exhibition.
He replaces Jen Henshaw who leaves BEIA later next week after delivering two successful MEETINGS events in 2021 and 2022 and this year’s conference.
“We are immensely grateful to Jen for all her exceptional work during the last two challenging years,” BEIA chief executive, Lisa Hopkins said.
Originally from the UK, Peak has been with The Conference Company in Auckland for the past eight years, managing the successful delivery of in-person, hybrid, and virtual events across New Zealand and Australia for this globally recognised professional conference organiser.
Before that, he was with AJ Hackett Bungy in Queenstown for six years, responsible for the day-to-day operations of one of New Zealand’s top visitor attractions and event venues.
Hopkins said BEIA used Tourism Talent senior associate business events Anna Hayward to help secure the ideal candidate for the role.
Peak starts his new role on October 25 and will work with Henshaw until her final day on October 28.
