Tākina Wellington Convention
& Exhibition Centre
Sitting at the heart of Wellington’s cultural precinct, Tākina Wellington Convention & Exhibition Centre is the nation’s new meeting place. It’s a place of welcoming, learning, and sharing.
Inspired by Wellington’s dramatic landscape and environment, Tākina means to ‘invoke’, reflecting Te Whanganui a Tara Wellington as a place people come together to talk and think.
With two levels of purpose-built event space designed for the ultimate experience, the ground floor will also host a premium café and a rotating calendar of world-class exhibitions.
Through local, sustainable and delicious cuisine that showcases the region, cutting-edge contemporary design and panoramic views over the city and Wellington Harbour, Tākina offers the ultimate Wellington experience.
Situated across the road from Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa in the heart of the vibrant capital, Tākina is surrounded by the city’s best accommodation and eateries, and just a 15-minute drive from the airport.
Sustainability and Tākina
Environmental sustainability and resilience are at the heart of Wellington’s new convention and exhibition centre, Tākina.
With a focus on reducing energy and water, sustainable materials use, and renewable energy capability, Tākina is a landmark for Wellington’s sustainable future and has been awarded a 5-Star Green Star design certification representing New Zealand’s excellence for environmental sustainability.
Designed to operate efficiently at all levels of use, Tākina will have a 66% reduction in operational carbon emissions, when benchmarked against a comparable new build. Located in the heart of Wellington means more opportunities for active, eco-friendly transportation.
