Conference Venues Without Accommodation

Dunedin is an obvious choice when it comes to cities that have “wow” factor venues.

Conferences are held in elegant heritage buildings, in a castle on the Otago Peninsula, in places where wildlife surrounds the facility – such as in an ecosanctuary - and even in a bunker with breathe taking coastal views and fur seals at your door.

It’s hard to believe such places are only minutes from the city centre or that the world’s only stadium to grow natural turn under a fixed roof is also a highly sought after conference venue.
