The compact and connected capital offers excellent flight access from Australian’s eastern seaboard, with over 50 direct return flights weekly from major Australian cities. Upon arrival, you’ll find a wide range of accommodation options, from five-star hotels with harbour views to budget-friendly choices, all within a short walk of our new convention centre, Tākina.
A group of experts who study hard-shelled aquatic creatures have found Wellington the ideal place to delve a little deeper. The 10th International Crustacean Congress held at Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa attracted carcinologists from 24 countries.
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.
Sitting at the heart of New Zealand’s compact, walkable capital, Tākina is well on track for its mid-2023 opening.
Wellington is living up to its name as New Zealand’s vibrant capital with a busy events calendar and exciting developments in store.
It may be compact but Wellington prides itself on being a collaborative and connected city with big ambition.
Not only does New Zealand’s capital boast a vibrant, energetic personality, it’s a place where organising a conference is easy.
