CASE STUDY
“We wanted to thank you once again for your excellent hosting of the NZ Aquaculture Conference in Marlborough.
Hosting over 500 delegates for two days seemed easy with the Convention Centres’ support – they were incredibly
flexible and extremely helpful, always responding to our requests quickly with a friendly and professional manner
– nothing was a problem for them. Utilising the Convention Centre fully, we were impressed with the ability to dress
the main rooms from a professional conference style during the day to a classy evening cocktail function in just 60
minutes and demonstrates the skills and service that the Convention Centre has to offer. The accommodation
system was easy to use and provided a wide range of hotels, and the location of the Convention Centre is within
walking distance to many hotels and restaurants, enabling many of our delegates to walk to and from the conference.
For the second year in a row, NZ Aquaculture have had our conference in Marlborough, and everyone agrees that it is
the easiest and most enjoyable conference they have organised - we’ll be back next year too!”
