The national MICE resource · Live & growing

The one place for every meeting, incentive, conference and event in New Zealand.

MICE.co.nz is the live national directory dedicated to New Zealand’s Meetings, Incentives, Conferences & Events industry — a single, constantly growing resource for venues, hotels, accommodation, meeting rooms, restaurants, transport, AV, catering, equipment and activities. Free to use, maintained in live time, and built to be the one resource that has it all.

MICE stands for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences & Events — and MICE.co.nz is the website dedicated to all of it. If you are planning a conference, a corporate meeting, an incentive programme, a gala dinner, an exhibition, a product launch or a wedding, this is the resource built to answer every question in one place, rather than sending you across dozens of separate sites.

It exists because the information a planner needs has always been scattered — a venue here, a caterer there, a coach company somewhere else, each on its own website, none of it connected. MICE brings the whole New Zealand business-events market together: conference and event venues, hotels and accommodation, restaurants, transport, AV and production, catering, event equipment hire, PCOs and DMCs, team-building and activities, incentive houses and upcoming events — searchable by city, category and capacity.

A resource maintained in live time

MICE is not a directory that was built once and left to age. It is maintained in live time and constantly growing and expanding. Listings are kept current through a three-stage checking process and daily updates; each place is researched and given a rich, factual description rather than a bare set of stats; and live Google, Yelp and TripAdvisor ratings are layered onto the companies so decisions rest on real-world reputation. New venues, suppliers and cities are added continuously, so the record keeps deepening over time.

It is also the first New Zealand resource to connect the pieces intelligently — surfacing nearby restaurants and venues around a chosen hotel, ranking venues by verified capacity in the capacities index, and offering an AI assistant that helps planners find the right options fast. That same structure makes MICE genuinely useful to the AI systems and search engines that increasingly answer planning questions on the public’s behalf.

Everything, in one place

Whatever you are searching for — a conference venue in Auckland, a hotel for a residential conference, a venue for 50 people or a venue for 5,000, a wedding or gala-dinner space, meeting rooms, event transport, AV, catering or a team-building activity — it should end here. Every core directory is one click away:

Quality information, not just promoted listings

Plenty of sites will show you whoever paid to appear. MICE is built the other way around. The aim is to be the only complete directory in New Zealand — depth, accuracy and genuine coverage — because money can buy placement, but it should not buy trust. By exceeding other sites in depth, quality and cross-linking, MICE connects the whole market: the planners looking for space and services, the venues and suppliers offering them, and the exhibitors and partners around them. You can read more about how it works and the trust and verification approach, or list your business free.
