Now in its third year, Auckland BarShow has firmly established itself as New Zealand’s leading standalone tradeshow dedicated to the bar market.

Auckland BarShow has grown alongside its sister publication New Zealand Bartender magazine which launched in 2005 and is now recognised as the premier magazine for New Zealand's bar professionals.

Auckland BarShow 07 attracted 2,570 bar professionals from across the country, who travelled to see over 80 exhibiting companies showcasing a variety of products from all aspects of the industry, from spirits and beer to furniture and technology. The visitors were also treated to a wide selection of seminars by a host of international and home grown guests covering topics from the latest cocktail trends with UK guru Angus Winchester to best venue music policy by some of New Zealand’s finest operators.

In 2008 Auckland BarShow will grow with even more stands, a larger central seminar theatre and a new WineGarden feature. This will ensure that Auckland BarShow continues to deliver to the industry, and its thousands of professionals across New Zealand, the event they demand and deserve. Auckland BarShow is also home to the prestigious New Zealand Bartender Magazine Bar Awards and the highly contested New Zealand Bartender Magazine Bartender of the Year Competition.
