After 10 years in the making, SkyCity is thrilled to be opening the doors of the NZICC to the public. This is your chance for a first look inside our beautiful tohu whenua (landmark) building before we begin welcoming thousands of international and local guests for an exciting line up of events.
Join us for the Public Open Day and be among the first to explore the spaces and experience the sheer scale of the venue that will help shape the future of events, business, culture, and tourism in Aotearoa.
What to expect: Take a relaxed walk around NZICC, check out the artwork, the country’s largest seated theatre, and soak up the incredible views across the Waitākere Ranges and Waitematā Harbour.
Hear directly from the minds behind NZICC - from the architects and creators who brought the vision to life, to the artists who shaped its look and feel, and the department leaders who will power the events within. Each session features a different speaker, offering a unique perspective on the building’s journey and future; choose the session that speaks to you. The speakers will begin 10 minutes after your session start time, you can then wander the building after the talk.
