Our Story.
Back in 2004, when Facebook was launched and Deb and Daniela were still rocking flip phones, they began working on their first major event together.
Standing at the registration desk buzzing with nervous excitement, hundreds of faces started to fill the room. They navigated the 1000-person agricultural conference with confidence leaving a trail of happy clients, attendees, and newfound friendships.
After the initial conference there were more events that they collaborated on. It wasn’t long before Deb and Daniela’s adventurous spirits called, leading them on separate international event career discoveries, in different parts of the globe.
Returning to New Zealand around the same time in 2017, fate intervened. The agricultural event they'd managed 15 years ago was returning and needed an event management company.
And so, HPCE was born, not from some sterile boardroom but from the shared laughter and dreams of two friends.
With over 275 events delivered, Deb and Daniela’s passion burns brighter than ever. It's in the laughter at a welcome reception and the bright lights of awards nights. The rewards are endless.
Our purpose today is the same as it was in 2004 - To elevate the way events and conferences are approached in New Zealand.
HPCE’s purpose extends beyond transactional event management. We build positive relationships and partnerships with our clients, turning them into friends.
Through our unwavering commitment to innovation, professionalism, and profound partnerships, we aim to shape a future where each event becomes a transformative journey that leaves a lasting impression on individuals and industries alike.
