Conference & event venues in Auckland

Conference & event venues in Auckland

Auckland is New Zealand's largest business-events city, and for many national conferences, exhibitions and incentive programmes it is the obvious starting point: an international airport, the country's biggest hotel inventory and a compact waterfront CBD where delegates can walk between venue, hotel and dinner. MICE currently lists 106 Auckland-region conference venues, hotels and event spaces, spanning purpose-built convention centres, arenas, character venues and conference hotels.

### Purpose-built convention centres

For plenaries, exhibitions and large trade shows, Auckland's flagship is the New Zealand International Convention Centre (NZICC), supported by the adjoining SkyCity Auckland Convention Centre on Federal Street and the Aotea Centre in the Aotea arts precinct. These are the go-to spaces for multi-day conferences and gala plenaries in the thousands.

### Arenas, stadiums and large-format spaces

For concerts, awards nights and expos at scale, MICE lists Spark Arena, Eden Park, Go Media Stadium, North Harbour Stadium and the Due Drop Events Centre in Manukau, plus the Bruce Mason Centre on the North Shore for larger plenary audiences.

### Conference hotels

When delegates need rooms and meeting space together, Auckland has the deepest hotel bench in the country. MICE lists large conference hotels including Cordis Auckland (640 rooms), SkyCity Auckland (635), Grand Millennium Auckland (452), Crowne Plaza Auckland, Pullman Auckland, JW Marriott Auckland, Park Hyatt Auckland, Hilton Auckland, InterContinental Auckland and Sofitel Auckland Viaduct Harbour, alongside a large cluster of airport hotels for fly-in events.

### Character and waterfront venues

Auckland's point of difference is its harbour-edge and heritage spaces: Shed 10 and the Viaduct Events Centre on the waterfront, The Cloud on Queens Wharf, the Auckland Town Hall and The Civic for grand plenaries and dinners, and standout unique venues like the Auckland War Memorial Museum, Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki, Auckland Zoo and Wētā Workshop Unleashed.

### Build the rest of your event

Once you have a room, MICE connects the rest in one place: browse event caterers and equipment hire, team-building and group activities, and delegate transport for airport transfers and offsite runs. You can also compare rooms by delegate numbers on the capacities view.

Every Auckland listing on MICE links to the operator's own details, so you can shortlist, check capacities and make contact directly.
