13 Venues, Infinite Possibilities in Auckland
Blending proximity with international flair.
13 Venues. Infinite Possibilities.
Each of our venues is unique in style, scale, and atmosphere, ensuring there’s a perfect fit for every type of event. From cutting-edge conference facilities and grand gala dinner spaces to heritage gems and iconic waterfront landmarks, our collection offers versatility at every scale.
Viaduct Events Centre – Located right on the waterfront, the Viaduct Events Centre is a striking contemporary venue with sweeping harbour views. Its light-filled spaces, flexible layouts, and world-class facilities make it a favourite for gala dinners, conferences, and exhibitions where atmosphere is just as important as function.
Aotea – Te Pokapū | Aotea Centre – One of Auckland’s premier convention venues, the Aotea Centre offers scale and versatility in the heart of the city. With plenary halls, breakout rooms, theatres, and exhibition spaces, it’s well-suited for major conferences and conventions. Its CBD location keeps delegates close to hotels, dining, and entertainment.
Auckland Town Hall – Steeped in history, the Auckland Town Hall is one of the city’s most iconic heritage venues. Known for its ornate architecture and grand interiors, it’s the ideal setting for gala dinners, award ceremonies, and cocktail functions that require both elegance and gravitas. Hosting an event here gives delegates a taste of Auckland’s cultural legacy.
Together with gems like the MOTAT Aviation Hall, Shed 10, and boutique spaces throughout the city, these venues give organisers unmatched flexibility—whether hosting 50 or 2,000 guests.
Why Auckland? More Than Just Space
For Australian organisers, Auckland ticks every box. It’s just a short flight away—three hours from Sydney, and just under four from Melbourne and Brisbane. No long-haul jet lag, no complex logistics—just easy connectivity for delegates.
But Auckland offers so much more than convenience. It’s a city where nature and culture meet, with the sparkling Waitematā Harbour on the doorstep of our central venues including the Viaduct Events Centre, Shed 10, and The Cloud. Here, delegates can move from wine tasting on Waiheke Island to a glittering gala dinner, or from the boardroom to the black sand beaches of the West Coast—all in a single day.
This is a region that inspires ideas and fuels connection—something every event organiser looks for when crafting experiences that stick.
Client Testimonials: Where Inspiration Meets Execution
One standout evening saw us host an intimate dinner at the MOTAT Aviation Hall for a group of Australian PCOs and event professionals. Against the dramatic backdrop of historic aircraft, guests enjoyed a beautifully curated sit-down dinner, live entertainment, and an MC who brought the stories of pioneering pilots to life. The result was an unforgettable evening that highlighted how Auckland Conventions, Venues & Events venues can transform a dinner into a rich, immersive experience. As one guest reflected, “Top highlight was our incredible dinner at MOTAT, with such fanfare, good food, and great company.”*

On a much larger scale, the Microsoft AI Tour in December 2024 held a one-day conference at Aotea – Te Pokapū | Aotea Centre, bringing together hundreds of delegates for plenary sessions, networking, and roundtable discussions. Alicia Beachley, CEO and Founder of organising company April5 notes, “The Aotea Centre proved to be an outstanding multi-purpose venue for our high-profile flagship event. Aotea Centre's facilities and the support from its staff contributed greatly to the success of our event. I look forward to working with the team again.”
