The second annual Northland Business Expo coming.

Building on the success from last year the Expo is going to be bigger & better in many different ways. There will be many subtle changes such as the new “Emerging Business” area that provides inexpensive booths for newer businesses that have been going for less than 18 months.

Another new feature of the Expo is the Sponsored Trusts section. The Expo feels we need to create greater community awareness, supporting organizations that support the community. Six booths have been set aside for Trusts, and those Trusts are nominated by the first six Sponsors that get on board with the Expo. It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved!

The Expo is providing free tickets to the booth holders to give to their clients, providing a greater amount of foot traffic and awareness to this awesome Northland event! Entering through the top floor and then going downstairs to the newly designed booth layout optimizes the hall for everyone involved.

With over 100 stalls and a variety of seminars and workshops, the Business Expo is attracting businesses Northland-wide and stalls will fill up fast. Sign up early to get in on our easy installation plan.

The Northland Business Expo is all about bringing the value of your business to other businesses throughout Northland.

Expect top-class rally action during the International Rally of Whangarei which commences with an opening ceremony from 5pm on Friday 2 July, followed by two days of ultra-competitive rallying over 280 km of world-famous gravel stages in the Whangarei and Kaipara districts.
 
The International Rally of Whangarei 2010 is the third round of the FIA Asia Pacific Rally Championship, one of the premier regional championships in world rallying contested by teams from New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Malaysia, India, and New Caledonia running primarily Group N, or production, rally cars.
The event also incorporates the second round of the MotorSport New Zealand-sanctioned Vantage Aluminium Joinery New Zealand Rally Championship (NZRC) where local teams who use Group N cars compete internally for NZRC points and against international competitors for the overall event title.
A subsidiary event for NZRC Open and Kiwi 2 competitors and Clubmans competitors runs in conjunction with the main international event. Kiwi 2 is a New Zealand-only class allowing development competitors to compete in the full NZRC without the cost of the top class. The Clubmans event gives competitors with lower specification or older cars a way to compete in their own overall and class battles and be part of an international event without the cost of full international competition.
The International Rally of Whangarei is run by Rally New Zealand.
