Transport

Auckland Airport is about 20km from the CBD. Transport options include:

• Airport buses (e.g. SkyDrive) - with regular service to central stops near most hotels and transport hubs
• Hotel shuttles - some hotels offer their own airport transfers, so check directly when booking
• Rideshare - Uber operates from designated pick-up zones at both airport terminals
• Taxis - readily available from the airport with fixed or metered fares
• Public transport - take the AirportLink bus to Puhinui Station, then train to Britomart in the CBD

Once in the city, it's a short walk or quick bus ride to Waipārūrū Hall, the University of Auckland campus, or central accommodation.

Workshops will take place within the University of Auckland near Symonds Street and within walking distance of Waipārūrū Hall and many city hotels that can be easily reached by bus.

Further venue information coming soon.
