conference venue

We are fortunate to be located within the beautiful Kelburn Campus of Victoria University, which allows us to be involved in the many conferences that take place outside of trimester time.

Our venue offers a less formal setting for breakout drinks, and we are also equipped with the necessary facilities and space to host full conferences. Additionally, we are able to cater food and both hot and cold beverages to conferences held in other areas of the university.
