Due to open in June 2023, there are over 78 new events already booked, with delegate spending in Wellington from these events alone expected to be $70.380m – $44m of this in the first year.
This important contribution to the Wellington economy, including money spent in the capital’s many hotels, restaurants, pubs, bars and shops, will continue to grow as more events are confirmed and Tākina’s reputation grows.
Confirmed conferences and events include Festival for the Future, New Zealand Veterinary Association’s Centennial Conference, New Zealand Game Developers Association’s Annual Conference, Australasian Society for Infectious Diseases’ Annual Scientific Meeting, the International Conference on Digital Preservation (iPRES), and the Congress of the International Association of Sedimentologists (IAS).
