Rooftop Connections - Welcome Function
Kick off Conference in style at the SO Hotel Rooftop Bar — where panoramic views of Auckland’s skyline and harbour set the scene for a fun evening.
Enjoy a relaxed mix-and-mingle atmosphere with drinks, canapés, and platters, as you reconnect with industry colleagues and forge new connections.
It’s the perfect way to ease into the conference — elevated, social, and distinctly Auckland.

Forensics, Fairways & Fun
Get ready for a social event with a twist! Start the afternoon in investigative mode with a lively Forensic Crime Scene – Who Dunnit challenge that will test your team’s detective skills. After cracking the case, unwind and enjoy a unique golfing experience over a drink at the Remuera Velocity Range, where tech meets tee-off for a high-energy, high-fun activity—even for non-golfers.
As the sun sets, head to the clubhouse for dinner overlooking the 72 hectares of woodland park reserve at Remuera Golf Club. Surrounded by nature, birdlife, and tranquil views, this is your chance to relax, connect, and celebrate the day in style.
