MICE — which stands for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Events — is New Zealand's first complete live digital directory covering every part of the events supply chain: venues, hotels, meeting rooms, restaurants, AV companies, event companies, caterers and transport of every kind. With thousands of options listed free of charge to the user, live ratings and an AI assistant to guide your choices, it is the most comprehensive directory of its kind in the country, and you can start planning at mice.co.nz.
What is MICE and what does it list?
MICE is a single, complete directory for everything an event needs. Rather than making planners hunt across dozens of separate websites, it brings venues, hotels, meeting rooms, restaurants, AV companies, event companies and caterers together in one place — alongside the full range of transport, from taxis and coaches to vans and cars. That breadth is the point: whether you are sourcing a room for a board meeting or coordinating suppliers for a multi-day conference, the pieces you need are listed and searchable together. Thousands of options are included, and access is completely free to the user.
What makes MICE different from other directories?
Most listing sites lead with whoever pays to be promoted. MICE is built the opposite way — around quality information rather than paid placement — so what you see reflects genuinely useful options, not just advertisers. It is also the first site in New Zealand to surface nearby suggestions, showing the restaurants and venues close to a given hotel so an organiser can plan a whole delegate experience in one view. Listings carry Google, Yelp and TripAdvisor ratings so you can judge a supplier on real feedback, and every entry passes a three-stage checking process with daily updates, which is why MICE can call itself the only genuinely complete and current directory in the market.
How does the MICE AI assistant help?
Planning an event involves hundreds of small decisions, and the MICE AI assistant is designed to cut through them. Instead of scrolling endless listings, you can describe what you need and let the assistant suggest the best options — the right-sized venue, a hotel with the facilities you want, or the suppliers that fit your brief. Because the directory sits on checked, up-to-date data, those suggestions are grounded in real availability and quality rather than guesswork. For time-poor organisers, that guidance turns a sprawling search into a short, confident shortlist.
Can MICE handle both small meetings and huge conferences?
Yes — scale is one of its strengths. Auckland alone offers a wide range of conference venues to suit every need, and MICE lets you filter for exactly the capacity you require. Whether you need a venue for fifty people or a space for five thousand, the directory covers the full spectrum, from intimate meeting rooms through to major conference and exhibition halls. The same applies to the supporting suppliers, so a small workshop and a national conference can both be planned from the same place. It is equally useful for weddings, meetings, conferences and events of every size.
Who is MICE for?
MICE connects the whole market: buyers, sellers and exhibitors in one ecosystem. Event organisers, PCOs, corporate teams and wedding planners use it to find their perfect hotel or venue and the suppliers around it. Venues, hotels and service companies use it to be discovered by the people actively planning events. And because the focus is on depth and accuracy rather than promotion, both sides benefit from a directory that genuinely reflects what New Zealand has to offer. For anyone researching their next conference or event, it is the premiere place to start.
How MICE fits with the wider New Zealand events and transport network
An event is more than a venue — it is a whole logistics exercise, and MICE connects naturally to the transport that moves people to and around it. For chauffeured and corporate transfers in the main centres, and for MICE and delegate movement, chauffeur.co.nz is the city specialist. For large-scale, multi-region and coach transport across more than fifteen locations, Legacy anchors the heavy lifting. When delegates travel between cities, LandFlight provides fixed-price point-to-point transport, and for guided free-time experiences, Daytrip runs the tours. If your event ties into a cruise itinerary, Cruisey covers the port schedules. MICE is the directory that ties the venues and suppliers of it all together.
