Focused on an exciting future, Invercargill and the wider Southland region has re-opened for business and is ready to welcome you and your conference or event with open, but socially distanced, arms. It’s a place that is quite literally rebuilding, and not just because of COVID-19. Redevelopment of the Invercargill CBD is underway with a $165m project, led by Invercargill Central Ltd, and the excitement and enthusiasm for what the project will achieve is undeniable. In addition to the planned multi-faceted centre comprising retail, food and beverage offerings, office space, apartments, ILT is building a new hotel. The Langlands Hotel which will be 4.5-star and will initially have 78 guest rooms, with the possibility of adding a further 40, will feature a signature restaurant, café, top level bar, private dining space and function rooms catering for up to 100 PAX. On top of that, the nationwide chain Distinction Hotels is also planning on building a 150-room 4.5 star hotel in the city centre. The potential of what the future holds for Invercargill strengthens the region’s compelling argument that conference organisers, delegates and industry representatives can have the time of their lives in the great south. This is cemented by the diverse venues, professional services, warm hospitality and incredible pre and post conference activities on offer. This includes Bill Richardson Transport World - the largest private automotive museum of its type in the world offering over nine flexible and versatile events spaces that can host between five and 1000 guests, and the refined and intimate Handle Bar at Classic Motorcycle Mecca, which are both run by the team of destination experts at TW Events and Incentives who help to amplify Invercargill’s reputation as the classic motor capital of New Zealand. The Ascot Park Hotel, recently completed a $250,000 major refurbishment of its large function space, which offers luxurious and elegant conference rooms that can seat up to 650 people theatre style. If a smaller, more private setting is required, the space can be divided into three, making it a versatile venue for conferences and events and with nine function rooms in total, there’s plenty of options to choose from with 116 accommodation rooms also available. In addition to this, there are endless accommodation options available across the city and wider region that can cater for the specific needs and preferences of your delegates. While there is a renewed focus on rebuilding and the restarting, the traditional reasons to love the South have not been compromised or lost their significance. Invercargill is the gateway to some of Aotearoa’s most sought-after spots with great proximity to the bucket list attractions found on Rakiura Stewart Island, Fiordland, the Catlins and Queenstown - the scrumptious southern fare, including fresh bluff oysters and Southland’s delicacy cheese rolls provide reasons on their own to go south for your next conferencing destination. There’s no question that we are all navigating a very different landscape when it comes to events and conferences, however the warm southern hospitality that the south is renowned for and a focus on an exciting future should leave no doubt that the south is ready to make your next event safe, enjoyable, and unique. Come, visit, stay and encourage your delegates to be part of the journey towards Invercargill’s rejuvenation and see for yourself the potential that can be found at every corner. We’ll provide the world class facilities, friendly Southland locals, potential for post conference jaunts and activities, and delicious cuisine– what else do you need!
