Cactus and Succulent Society of New Zealand Conference and AGM

Members can attend the AGM / Conference, hosted by a branch usually in February each year

Each year a different branch hosts the annual conference (including the national society AGM). About 50 to 60 members attend the AGM each year.

The weekend usually starts on Friday evening with drinks and registration followed by a talk or slides.

Saturday usually begins early with plant sales followed by a full day of lectures, slide shows and workshops ending with raffles, auction and dinner at night.

Sunday is usually another morning of lectures or slides before visiting local collections after lunch and then a regroup for a BBQ Sunday night.

Monday usually has additional collections available for members to visit before returning home.
