Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland is New Zealand’s largest city, international gateway and economic powerhouse. A sophisticated, globally connected destination where world-class business events meet an extraordinary sense of place.

As the base for many of New Zealand’s leading companies, global organisations and three major universities, Auckland brings together business, academia and industry across a diverse range of sectors. This concentration of expertise creates valuable opportunities for conferences to connect with local leaders, share knowledge and build meaningful international relationships.

Auckland has the infrastructure and connectivity to match its ambition. As New Zealand’s primary international gateway, the city offers extensive connections across Australia, Asia, North America and beyond. Once here, Auckland’s compact city centre brings together premium international hotels, exceptional dining, entertainment and event venues – many within easy walking distance.

At the heart of Auckland’s business events offering is the New Zealand International Convention Centre (NZICC), a world-class venue with capacity for up to 4,000 delegates and 33 flexible meeting and event spaces. Together with Auckland’s diverse portfolio of conference, hotel and unique venues, the city can cater for everything from intimate executive meetings and incentive programmes to major international congresses.

Beyond the conference room, Auckland offers something truly distinctive. Framed by two harbours and surrounded by islands, beaches, native rainforest and renowned wine regions, extraordinary New Zealand experiences are remarkably close. Delegates can discover Auckland’s rich Māori culture, experience its Michelin-starred dining scene, sail the Waitematā Harbour or escape to an island vineyard – all within one remarkable destination.
