Location and conference venue

Invercargill is a charming southern gem, New Zealand’s southernmost city. Known for its famously wide streets, friendly locals and unhurried pace, it’s a place where you can breathe out and enjoy genuine Southland hospitality.

If you have a bit of time after the conference, you’ll find yourself close to stunning coastlines like Oreti Beach, the legendary testing ground of Burt Munro (of The World’s Fastest Indian fame), and right on the doorstep of Bluff, Stewart Island/Rakiura and the Catlins. Explore the incredible Bill Richardson Transport World, or simply settle in for a cheese roll and a locally brewed beer.

Conference and Awards Dinner venue
Christchurch is home to the world-class Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre, a world-class venue, which opened in 2022 in the heart of the city. Te Pae is within easy walking distance of The Drifters, restaurants, bars, parks and shopping.
