Christchurch, Your Host
A warm welcome awaits you in Christchurch, a place of greenery, contemporary and classic architecture, scenery and space.
Otautahi Christchurch has been rebuilt and reimagined, with space for any and all business events. Our collaborative business events community - including the ChristchurchNZ team - are ready and willing to help make your event an incredible success.
Our venues are world-class, flexible, and
uber-modern. Our hotels and accommodation are conveniently close to both venues and hospitality, none more than 10 minutes from each other. All this in a spacious and updated city centre designed not just for cars, but humans.
The Ultimate Destination
Our city is filled with green spaces, cycle lanes, and precincts reserved for pedestrians (and the occasional tram). We were voted one of the friendliest cities in the world back in 2019, so expect a wave and a smile (perhaps from the tram driver).
We're connected to the world by an international airport and bustling seaport, and the highways that criss-cross the South Island largely convene here.
We are at the heart of the unforgettable South Island, an island absolutely stacked with pre and post activities and destinations. It's on the bucket list for a reason, so chat to us about finding your space here in Otautahi Christchurch.
We welcome NZ Resus 2026 delegates to Christchurch.
