‘POP-IN’ SESSIONS
We are hosting online ‘pop-in’ sessions, designed for retailers, hospitality, suppliers or community organisations directly impacted by the NZ ban to ‘pop in’, ask us questions and clarify their obligations.
Session times:
- Friday 28 October 11am-12pm (NZDT)
- Friday 4 November 11am-12pm (NZDT)
Please review the website and resources first as your questions may be answered here.
You are welcome to come along to any session to ask your questions, but you do not need to attend every session as content will be repeated and any critical news or updates will be relayed via the link below, not these sessions. If time, we can also answer questions about bans in other states.
Sessions are maximum 1 hour and held via Zoom. All resources and sessions are free.
Please ensure each member of your team registers here so we can plan for numbers.
