For three consecutive years Collective Concepts was contracted to event manage the Matariki Hospitality Industry Awards, run by not-for-profit association Northland Chefs. The event was held at Forum North for between 130 – 150 guests annually which included business owners, employees and suppliers from the Northland Hospitality Industry. Each year a new theme for the venue was created to incorporate the feeling of Matariki and reflect the prestige surrounding the awards.
