Tourism New Zealand’s Business Events team announced the win of the WIPCE 2025 – the World Indigenous Peoples’ Conference on Education.
Set to be held in November 2025, the event one of the first international conferences held in Auckland’s New Zealand International Convention Centre (NZICC).
3,000 representatives from around the world will visit New Zealand to discuss strategies for culturally grounded education.
NZICC’s Director of Sales & Marketing Prue Daly says: “As the only venue in New Zealand large enough to host a conference of this scale, it is a privilege to be welcoming WIPCE as one of our first international conventions after our much-anticipated opening in 2025. The sharing of knowledge and showcasing New Zealand’s manaakitanga are fundamental values of the NZICC, and to be able to foster this through the WIPCE conference, who are utilising all 32,500 sqm of our world-class venue, is very exciting.”
The conference bid was put together with the collaboration of Auckland University of Technology, Tourism New Zealand and Auckland Convention Bureau.
