Electricians, plumbers and internet experts are converging on Wellington next week as its convention centre gears up to host two large conferences at the same time. The conferences are being held at Tākina Wellington Convention & Exhibition Centre – New Zealand’s newest convention centre in the heart of Wellington that has been open for just over a year.
Business Events Wellington is proud to welcome Leanne Douglass to the team as the new Business Development Manager – Australia.
The Australian market is Wellington’s most important international market for conferences, says Business Events Wellington Manager Irette Ferreira.
A major milestone in the lead up to opening of Tākina was celebrated this week with Wellington City Council receiving the keys to its new convention centre. The venue will officially open end of May, with the test events taking place earlier in May.
