Conferences

Event Services helps to ensure both the reputation and the risks to the University are managed to an appropriate standard, which reflects our standing as New Zealand’s leading University.

Our team provides conference management services for the University of Auckland, both on and off site. This includes any conference generated from within the University, as well as conferences from recognised societies and associations. We specialise in conferences which aim to disseminate research, advance knowledge and promote thinking. 

Our team of innovative and proactive event managers will help you realise your event or conference vision. Utilising the latest tools and technology available in the industry, your dedicated event manager will be with you throughout the journey to ensure your event runs smoothly.

Our services include, but are not limited to: conference delivery, project management, financial management, marketing and communications, delegate services, abstract and paper management, speaker management, social programme, facilities management, conference collateral and on-site management.
