ACCOMMODATION
We recommend booking your accommodation early via the registration form to take advantage of the exclusive conference rates and secure your preferred option
The Copthorne Hotel and Resort Bay of Islands has been reserved exclusively for conference attendees. Set within 60 acres of subtropical gardens in the Waitangi National Trust Reserve, it is also the conference venue - meaning you can stay close to the action and enjoy an easy start to each day.
