The EEA2026 Conference will be held at the New Zealand International Convention Centre (NZICC) in Auckland.
The NZICC is New Zealand’s flagship convention and exhibition centre, an iconic, purpose-built venue designed to host world-class events that connect professionals, ideas, and innovation.
Located in the heart of Auckland’s city centre, the NZICC offers state-of-the-art facilities, flexible spaces, and a premium environment for learning, collaboration, and networking.
Surrounded by Auckland's vibrant hospitality and entertainment district, the NZICC provides easy access to accommodation, dining, and transport options. Delegates can enjoy the nearby SkyCity precinct, Aotea Square, and the waterfront, all within a short walk of the venue.
Sustainability and energy efficiency are key features of the NZICC. The centre incorporates energy-smart systems, natural light design, and advanced waste reduction initiatives to minimise its environmental footprint. Its focus on responsible building practices and operations aligns perfectly with the EEA’s values of innovation and sustainability in New Zealand’s energy future.
