XLabs: Future of Food — Aotearoa’s circular innovation program for New Zealand businesses created by Circularity, was a really special event for Uno Loco to be a part of. Based at the Plant and Food Research Centre in Nelson, it was an incredibly inspiring week witnessing businesses across the food system, tackling the challenges within their organisations and creating collaborative, circular solutions.

With a commitment to minimising waste and emissions, we worked with partners from catering to IT and transport to ensure that every element of the event was designed with circularity in mind. Here’s to a future where innovation meets responsibility. 🌱

The countdown was on for this event, with it being our first overseas conference since pre-Covid! And this took us to the beautiful island of Fiji with our good friends at Coca-Cola 🏝

3 days and nights of eventing in paradise, kicking off with the annual Awards Night, followed by a conference filled with all things sales & marketing for our 400 guests, and topped off with a couple of wonderful nights of live music and dancing under the stars!

We had an absolute blast pulling together this epic weekend and working with some wonderful suppliers over in Fiji ☀️

Recently our Uno Loco team had the absolute pleasure of once again producing the fabulous New Zealand Trade & Enterprise New Zealand International Business Awards 2023 in person and streaming live around the world.

Over 550 guests joined us at the VEC for a night full of celebrations, recognising all of this year's finalists and winners.

Working alongside the incredible NZTE team, collectively we reinforced the overall theme of a 'win for you is a win for us all'.

We feel honoured to witness the winners' stories from across our motu with their innovative businesses and passion and drive to take to on the globe!

A big ngā mihi nui to our amazing MC's Stacey Morrison and Matai Smith, along with superb support from Streamliner Productions, Urban Gourmet, HapPea Events, and photographs from our good friends at Smoke.

We are super proud to announce that Uno Loco took home the award for Best Business Event at the NZEA NZ Event Awards for 2023!

The win was for our mahi producing the “Announce Day” for our awesome client One New Zealand's rather large change from Vodafone to One NZ. Our full team was engaged right across the board (and right across the country) on this incredible project.

Here are some pictures of our fabulous team accepting the award in Christchurch over the weekend!
