This event will be held at the Royal New Zealand Air Force Museum, providing a distinctive and memorable setting for the conference gala.

Hosted by Mayor Phil Mauger, the evening will celebrate the achievements of the Global Cities New Zealand community in 2026 and offer delegates the opportunity to connect and socialise in an informal setting.

Located at Wigram, the birthplace of military aviation in New Zealand, the RNZAF Museum offers a unique backdrop that reflects innovation, history, and international connection.
