Culture

There is a rich indigenous Māori culture entwined with a melting pot of cultures from around the world. New Zealanders are friendly, independent, free-spirited and welcoming. There is nothing we enjoy more than showing overseas visitors ‘our place’ in the South Pacific.

Weather

July is mid-winter in New Zealand. During winter Auckland enjoys an average temperature during the day of around 10C – 14C (50F – 57F). If you plan to travel further south for some skiing or sight-seeing before or after the Symposium though, temperatures get down to a crisp and clear average of 4C (39F) in places like Queenstown.
