Social Functions

Sign up for these social functions when you complete your conference registration

Informal Meet & Greet

When: Sunday 21 May 2023 | 5.30  - 7.30pm

Where: Mac’s Brew Bar - 4 Taranaki Street

No need to sign up. This is an informal gathering point for ICC delegates and friends to gather and enjoy a catch up prior to the congress start. No formal programme or no congress check-in planned. Just a time to connect and enjoy a relaxing evening. Invite a friend, bring a partner. Food and beverage at your own expense. Enjoy!

Welcome Reception

When: Monday 22 May 2023 | 4.45  - 6.45pm

Where: Oceania Room, Te Papa

We’re excited to share that, since the Wellington on a Plate beer competition was ‘spawned’ from ICC10, delegates will get their very own chance to taste and to vote on their favourite beer during the Welcome Reception. This reception follows the conclusion of presentations on day one, giving everyone a chance to unwind and socialise. Local iwi will share a kapa haka with guests and there will be canapes and beverages on hand to enjoy. A kapa haka is a group performing traditional Māori dances.

Conference Dinner

When: Thursday 25 May 2023 | 7.30  - 11.30pm

Where: Signs of a Nation Room, Te Papa

Not your traditional sit-down dinner! A special menu has been created featuring local cuisine. New Zealand crayfish, Clevedon coast oysters and King fish will be some of the gourmet items starring on the menu. There will be other vegetarian and meat options as well to ensure there will be something for everyone. Either choose to sit down or wander and graze. A local band, made up of some of our very own, will take to the stage at dessert time to raise the rafters!
