Due Drop Events Centre

Due Drop Events Centre Due Drop Events Centre (formerly Vodafone Events Centre) is Auckland's iconic Pacific themed venue

For more than a decade, Due Drop Events Centre has hosted, welcomed and entertained more than 2.2 million patrons, clients and guests. We’ve had thousands of events — exhibits, concerts, conferences, conventions, seminars, festivals, fairs, fashion shows, graduations, performances, plays, weddings, community activities, workshops, and every event conceivable — and have become a special place of gr

eat memories and a magnificent centre of successful outcomes. Owned and operated by Waka Pacific Trust on behalf of the community, we are Auckland’s most iconic event venue. Located beside the motorway and just 10 minutes from the Auckland International Airport, it is one of the most convenient and ideal locations — close to essential establishments and accommodations yet allow guests to remain focused and undistracted during an event. We have highly flexible and spacious venues so we can accommodate board meetings for 10, conferences for 1200 or concerts for 4000 — all under one roof! Our professional staff offer a wealth of experience to event organisers from beginning to end. Our catering and audiovisual equipment partners are industry leaders and ensure high standards of service. We all work seamlessly together to make events run like clockwork. Lastly, we deliver the country’s largest free schools programme and provide high quality educational experiences led by industry professionals. We are dedicated to giving back to the community to help build a better New Zealand.
