Make new friends and reconnect with old ones at our social dinners - the perfect way to spend your first evening in Wellington! Social Dinners will be held Monday 3 November, following the Welcome Reception at Te Puna Matauranga o Aotearoa National Library of New Zealand. Each dinner will be hosted by a dedicated attendee.  We have selected a variety of restaurants within 2 km of National Library, many along the picturesque Wellington waterfront.

Social dinner venue information is available here with menus and descriptions of each location. Registered attendees will receive signup information via email.

Please be aware that attendees will need to pay for their own food and drink at the social dinners on the night - this is an optional social event not included as part of the registration fee.
