Conference venue

The School of Design Innovation is New Zealand's cutting-edge venue for shaping a career in design. We lead the way in our critical approach to design thinking and our investigations into how new technologies such as 3D scanning and multi-property 3D printing are changing the nature of manufacturing. The emergence and applications of virtual reality, mobile technologies and smart objects are central to our endeavours within the ever-expanding fields of gaming, visual effects and animation. The School of Design Innovation also leads in the global paradigm shift in design education to focus on the opportunities for social innovation.

The campus is located in the central city and close to public transport, cafes, restaurants and Wellington's iconic waterfront. All spaces have modern audio visual equipment that is lectern controlled and all expected amenities that make for an enjoyable conference.
