Cooperative Business NZ's own events calendar shows no annual conference in 2026 and nothing at Te Pae. Its 2026 flagship gathering was the biennial Cooperative Leaders' Summit, held in Christchurch on 24 March at Tūranga and in Auckland on 26 March, both since closed as sold out.
Cooperative Business NZ's published events calendar lists no "Annual Conference 2026" and no event at Te Pae Christchurch, so the directory record cannot be substantiated against the organisation's own site. The peak body's flagship 2026 gathering was instead the biennial Cooperative Leaders' Summit, run as two one-day events — Christchurch on 24 March 2026 at TSB Space, Tūranga, 60 Cathedral Square, and Auckland on 26 March 2026 at Deloitte, Level 20, 1 Queen Street — both of which the organiser's Leaders' Summits 2026 page records as sold out and now closed with a post-event wrap-up. The only Cooperative Business NZ date in October 2026 is its 44th Annual General Meeting on Monday 19 October, which the organiser states is hosted online via Zoom and open to members only, not a Christchurch conference.
