The city offers easy access to government representatives and industry leaders, impressive venues and a bustling city on your doorstep. It makes hosting conferences easy for organisers, and offers a fresh perspective for delegates.
Tākina Wellington Convention & Exhibition Centre opened its doors in June 2023, significantly boosting Wellington’s capacity to host international events.
With 10,000sqm of flexible space, Tākina complements the city’s already impressive array of venues and its appeal as a destination.
Last month, Tākina hosted the Asia Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC 58) and The Advantage Conference 2024 concurrently.
In mid-October, the city will welcome more than 800 delegates for the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists’ (RANZCOG) Annual Scientific Meeting.
But Wellington’s allure goes beyond the shiny new convention centre.
The compact city is bursting with culture, history, nature and cuisine, all walkable from venues and over 4,000 hotel rooms, meaning delegates spend more time enjoying the city and less time in transit.
What often surprises planners is how easy it is to fly into Wellington.
There are more than 50 direct return flights every week between Wellington and Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
Upon arrival, it’s only a short trip from Wellington International Airport to the city’s venues and hotels.
With a vibrant city on your doorstep, choosing Wellington makes promoting your event easy.
The city’s convention bureau, Business Events Wellington, offers years of local event planning experience and industry connections to help you deliver successful conferences in the capital.
