The International Association of Professional Congress Organisers will host IAPCO EDGE Auckland at the New Zealand International Convention Centre. The masterclass-style programme is designed for professional and in-house conference organisers, association professionals, and business events specialists working alongside PCOs. EDGE focuses on real-world challenges, peer-to-peer exchange, and future-oriented professional development. The 2026 edition marks ten years since the first IAPCO EDGE Seminar was held in Auckland, a milestone that will be recognised as part of a broader anniversary initiative linked to the education programme.

Professional Education Programme at the New Zealand International Convention Centre

IAPCO EDGE Auckland will be among the first major education programmes hosted at the New Zealand International Convention Centre, which opens in February 2026. The programme aims to strengthen strategic thinking, professional capabilities, and delivery standards in an increasingly complex global meetings environment. Participation is limited to ensure an intensive learning experience. The event is supported by The Conference Company, Tourism New Zealand Business Events, the New Zealand International Convention Centre, Auckland Convention Bureau, Auckland Conventions Venues & Events, and Urban Gourmet. Registration for IAPCO EDGE Auckland is open.
