What better place to host New Zealand's largest architectural conference than in the heart of Auckland?

We were delighted to welcome the 2026 in:situ Conference to the Aotea Centre. Choosing this venue reflected the conference's ethos, bringing delegates together in an environment designed for connection and learning, surrounded by some of Auckland's most distinctive architecture.

Its central location and easy access made it simple for attendees travelling from across New Zealand to come together and focus on what mattered most.

The second edition of the Te Kiwi Māia Charity Dinner landed a fitting venue: amongst the aircraft of the MOTAT Aviation Hall ✈️

The event is the major fundraising activity for Te Kiwi Māia (The Courageous Kiwi), a charity whose mission is to care for the wellbeing of New Zealand’s first responders, Defence Force personnel, and their families.
