What a week! We’ve just wrapped up an incredible few days at the Viaduct Events Centre hosting three major back-to-back events that brought over 1,670 guests to Auckland’s Wynyard Quarter. The energy and foot traffic in the area were remarkable, contributing to the vibrancy of the Viaduct and making a positive economic impact. These events also gave us the perfect opportunity to showcase the full capabilities of the Viaduct Events Centre and the expertise of our in-house audio-visual and technical team. From dynamic lighting and LED screens to impeccable sound, the audio-visual execution was second to none. It’s fantastic to see such high-calibre events taking place at our venues and contributing to a thriving business events industry. We look forward to hosting more outstanding events that continue to support both our industry and our local economy.

Our team had the pleasure of meeting the Auckland CTM team yesterday. They had the chance to experience a world of theatrical and architectural wonder and discover the secrets of The Civic with a private tour by the one and only, James Manning! Then, they headed over to Aotea Centre, one of our flagship venues, to view the flexible spaces in the convention wing of the building. The Terrace was next on the list where we all stopped for a drinks and nibbles overlooking Aotea Square. Thank you for coming over to look at the unique and versatile spaces we have to offer! We look forward to working with your team.
