Te Pae Christchurch celebrates 1,000th event

Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre is celebrating a major milestone, having hosted 1,000 events since opening its doors in December 2021.

The occasion coincided with the venue welcoming delegates for the International Play Association (IPA) World Conference, delivered alongside conference organisers Conference Innovators, providing a fitting backdrop for the celebration.

Reaching 1,000 events reflects almost five years of conferences, exhibitions, meetings, banquets and live events, bringing people together in Ōtautahi Christchurch, while supporting the city’s growing profile as a business events destination.

Te Pae Christchurch General Manager Ross Steele said the milestone was a credit to the people and organisations who have been part of the venue’s journey.

“Reaching 1,000 events is a significant milestone for Te Pae Christchurch and our team is incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished so far. It reflects the commitment of our people, clients, partners and the wider business events community who have supported us since opening.

“We look forward to building on that momentum and continuing to showcase Christchurch and Canterbury to visitors from across New Zealand and around the world.”
