Cost: NZ$245pp.
All Hākari tickets must be purchased separately, there is no longer a registration option that includes them.

Get ready for our first-ever Hākari! In Te Aka Māori, a hākari is a feast or celebration, and that’s exactly what we’ve got in store. Instead of a sit-down dinner, we’re hosting a stand-up gathering – this is all about good food, great vibes, and mingling with new people. With a live band to keep the dance floor buzzing, it’s the perfect way to celebrate the last night of the ASM.

Dress code: Cocktail attire. The weather in Auckland can be a little chilly this time of year so make sure to bring a jacket!

Buses will be available on the evening to transport you to and from the venue – check back later for further details.
