Overview
Napier Conferences & Events, operating from the Napier War Memorial Centre on Marine Parade, is Hawke’s Bay’s only purpose-built conference facility. The venue offers user-friendly spaces for your next conference, trade show or event.
Panoramic views are part of the experience on offer. Overlooking the ocean, guests can enjoy the sweep of the bay from Cape Kidnappers to Mahia Peninsula. Napier’s Art Deco architecture and ambience is right on the doorstep and a range of quality accommodation is available within walking distance with the airport just a short drive away.
The Centre’s multi-purpose spaces were specifically designed for conferences, events, exhibitions and special occasions. The large foyer is an ideal ‘meet and greet’ area for guests, creating flow between all meeting rooms. The iconic Ballroom with its spectacular 180-degree views of the Pacific Ocean has dining capacity for up to 350 guests, and a newly built large Exhibition Hall will accommodate up to 25 exhibition sites.
Award-winning catering company Dish Foods provide a wide range of menu choices and beverage options to suit your budget and theme. All food is freshly prepared on site from locally sourced ingredients and products, where possible.
Napier Conferences & Events offer experience, dedication and local knowledge to ensure your next event exceeds your expectations. Whether you need insight into accommodation, transport and activities or advice on technical elements including lighting and sound, they’re available on site to help during the planning stages and on the day of your event.
