Venue
The Congress is being held at the University of Auckland Business School’s purpose-built Owen G Glenn Building, off Grafton Road, see map. This is one of Auckland’s most architecturally-striking buildings. Opened in 2008, the iconic building is at the heart of the city’s main commercial centre with sweeping views of Auckland Domain and Rangitoto Island in the Hauraki Gulf.
Business School students, staff and visitors have access to fully digitised facilities, with state-of-the-art lecture theatres, computer labs, work rooms and social spaces, alongside a café and an on-site bank clustered around a spectacular 26m-high atrium. Disabled access and facilities are available throughout the building.
Public transport is easily accessible, with a 15-minute walk taking you to the city centre’s Britomart transport hub. Buses also stop near the Business School and there are a number of hotels within walking distance.
