Convention venue.
We’re excited to bring the NZCE Convention to Tākina Wellington Convention & Exhibition Centre for the first time!
Located in the heart of Wellington’s cultural precinct, Tākina offers two levels of purpose-built event space, contemporary design and panoramic views across the city and Wellington Harbour. Inspired by Wellington’s dramatic landscape, Tākina means ‘to invoke’, reflecting the spirit of bringing people together to share ideas, learn and connect.
Situated directly across from the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Tākina is surrounded by the city’s best accommodation, cafés and eateries. With locally sourced, sustainable cuisine and a rotating calendar of world-class exhibitions, there’s plenty to enjoy beyond the convention programme. Just a 15-minute drive from the airport, Tākina provides an exciting new setting for the NZCE Convention experience.
