Meetings 2025 wrap Auckland is roughly the same latitude as Melbourne and shares the same reputation for four seasons in one day. At Meetings 2025 that is just what we experienced. Day one started with breakfast at the revolving restaurant on Auckland’s iconic Sky Tower. The early start was chosen so we could watch the sunrise – all we saw was cloud.

Meetings 2025 closing celebration goes nautical The venue for the nautical themed closing celebration of Meetings 2025 was the Viaduct Events Centre which opened in 2011 as a multi-purpose events centre. From 2018 to 2022 the venue served as home base for Team New Zealand when they defended the America’s Cup against a challenger from Italy. Although New Zealand were the successful winners, and the New Zealand government were keen to host the next challenge, the venue for the 2024 challenge was in Spain (and of course New Zealand won again).

A nautical theme brought out the creativity in guests with outfits ranging from the predictable – lots of blue and white, blazers, navy and sailor uniforms; to the quirky – a penguin proffering chips (apparently Kiwis got the reference) and a lobster #eventprofsau #Meetings2025 #ViaductEventsCentre
