It's the first time that CeBit has hosted a national day and here's the blurb:
QUOTE
CeBIT’s first ever New Zealand Day has been created to recognise and celebrate New Zealand’s innovative technology and unique culture.
New Zealand’s growing ICT industry springs from the country’s tradition of self-sufficiency, where geographical isolation has meant New Zealanders finding ingenious solutions to everyday problems. Examples of ingenious ‘Kiwi’ technologies are being profiled at the New Zealand Pavilion. Visitors will have the opportunity to converse with a humanoid robot boy named Zeno, try out the latest computer mouse device with enhanced accuracy and speed, have their faces scanned by a 3D laser surface scanner and view the latest banking, business software and telematics technologies.
New Zealand Day also has some exciting opportunities for those who dream of visiting or moving to New Zealand. Immigration New Zealand and Hudson Recruitment will be on hand to offer advice about living and working in New Zealand, whether short or long term.
In addition Air New Zealand is offering all CeBIT visitors the opportunity to win return flights from Germany to New Zealand. Fill out an entry form at the New Zealand Pavilion on 6 March and be in to win.

In attendance will also be the New Zealand Minister Pete Hodgson, Minister for Economics, Research, Science and Technology and New Zealand Consul-General & Trade Commissioner Jennifer Scoular.
Plus the usual free glasses of wine, except unlike at usual CeBit bashes, this wine will be drinkable.
Sadly it doesn't appear that how the Black Caps are using SAS to beat England at cricket will be featured, which is a bit of a shame.
Entry as per usual CeBit conditions.
