GA25 Update 4 – 10th October

Hi everyone,

Only 10 days to go! The venue is nearly ready, and so are we. Here’s what to remember before you arrive. 

📋 What You Need to Know 

  • 🚐 Airport shuttles: You are responsible for arranging your own transport from the airport to the venue or hotel, but we are providing a shuttle to get back to the airport at the other end. You must have pre-booked this.  If you have pre-booked, your colour-coded shuttle time will appear on your name tag. 
  • 📝 Sign-in opens 10am Monday 20 October: Collect your welcome pack and name tag, it’s your all-in-one pass for shuttles, breakfast, and dialogue groups. 
  • Mihi whakatau: After signing in, be back in the St Paul’s carpark by 12:50pm sharp on Monday. Don’t miss the official welcome! 
  • 🍴 Monday lunch is not provided: There are plenty of eateries and supermarkets nearby, so plan ahead.
