Ōtautahi Christchurch
Ōtautahi Christchurch offers a vibrant mix of city life, creativity, and easy access to nature - an ideal setting for delegates to unwind, connect, and recharge.
Stroll along the Ōtākaro Avon River, explore lively riverside markets, or relax in the botanic gardens. Christchurch is a walkable city where riverside paths, laneways, street art, markets, gardens, and striking modern architecture are all just a short stroll apart.
The city’s vibrancy is driven by a thriving business ecosystem where growth sectors - including healthtech, aerospace, bioeconomy and cleantech - are helping drive innovation, advance lower-emissions solutions, and attract global talent and investment.
As the gateway to Waitaha Canterbury, Te Waipounamu South Island, and Antarctica, Christchurch connects research, industry, and global networks, making it a natural base for collaboration on sustainability challenges and opportunities.
We invite you to experience our place, connect with our people, and enjoy all the city and region have to offer.
