Why we do it!!!!


20TH XENA ANNIVERSARY Auckland Aotearoa Fan Convention
November 2015.


The idea to do this convention came from several directions.
All over the world there are fans of New Zealand productions such as Xena Warrior Princess, Spartacus, Legend of the Seeker, Shortland Street, The Almighty Johnsons, etc.....
Those fans have the dream to visit this beautiful country and at the same time have a convention there were it was filmed.

A lot of those productions do have conventions outside New Zealand so we think it is a good idea to bring it back home. That way Kiwi's will get the opportunity to meet their celebrities in their home country. At the same time overseas fans get the chance to visit New Zealand and have a convention aswell. All dreams come true that way.

Now Martine and Karin have been interested in New Zealand since their childhood. Heeps of articles, magazines and books passed their eyes. Martine was always convinced that New Zealand would stand up and come forward with their media talents. Well, wasn't she right?
So Karin and Martine went to New Zealand, over and over and over again. Did we mention 'over'? They met Trude and John, two devine persons and now the four of them are very good friends.

Having followed several New Zealand production (hey, what did you expect?) Karin and Martine explored a lot of film locations. The most they visited are of Xena Warrior Princess and Legend of the Seeker. But they found also some devine places of The Piano, Chronicles of Narnia and Lord of the Rings.

Over the years New Zealand gave so much to the world. New Zealand spoiled us with so much highly talented people and productions. The talent is hardly to discribe as words are not strong enough to say what the heart feels.

So now it is time to give something back to New Zealand. Let the world see what treasures New Zealand has, namely diamonds of people.

Now the start to organise this convention came through a dream that arised by fans of the Xena Warrior Princess show. They shouted all loud and they were heard. Yes, we heard you all, darlings, and that's why we started planning the convention. Already, we hear you saying? Yes, even when it is still that early, cause we are well aware that many of you will have to travel from far away. (that is not Far-far-away Island, in case you have doubts!) And as asked by you all, you need the time to save money.

Since the wrap of the Xena show many people of the acting crew showed up in other big productions, which makes it more interesting as that way you might get a line-up of stars of different productions.

The dates are set : 21-22-23 November 2015.

The convention will support several charities (giving back to NZ.). This is very important to us. The charities are mentioned on a separate page on this site.

And while you are down here, why not stay a bit longer? It would be an awsome moment to meet New Zealand and discover some of the most beautiful places in the world, or do something awsome. Our Auckland page will guide you through it all. But......you can contact us always for anything.

Yes, big time to give something back to New Zealand. So join us, spread out the news all over the world and let us celebrate all together.
