59th One Stop Update for the Accountant in Business 2026

The October 2026 edition — the 59th — of Brightstar's long-running One Stop Update CPD conference runs 12–13 October 2026 at the Grand Millennium Auckland (71 Mayoral Drive, Cnr Vincent Street), with a virtual attendance option.

What it is

The conference gathers accountants, finance managers, business owners and industry leaders to hear technical experts and profession leaders deliver updates on global and local economics, tax, employment law, ethics, financial reporting, sustainable reporting and forecasting. It allows finance professionals to earn required CPD hours and, per the organiser, has been trusted by the profession for nearly 30 years.

Who runs it

The series is produced by Brightstar, a New Zealand professional-development and conference provider.

Who it's for

Accountants in business, finance managers, controllers, business owners and finance-team professionals seeking structured annual CPD.

Why it matters in NZ MICE

A reliably recurring two-day professional-development conference anchored to a single Auckland CBD hotel — the kind of steady, credits-driven corporate meeting that fills mid-week venue capacity and hotel room-nights in the city centre year after year.
