Destination New Zealand in 2025
Christchurch is in the midst of an exciting time in its history. It is a brand-new city, with an eye on the future. It is also home to Aotearoa New Zealand’s oldest collection of heritage buildings. The city is enriched with culture, inspired by our tangata whenua (indigenous people). It is a place full of balance, with space to gather, connect with nature and experience many unique attractions.

Karakia
A karakia is a short Māori prayer or blessing used to open or close an event, helping to set the tone and bring people together. It acknowledges the space, the people, and the purpose of the gathering. This karakia has been selected by Liz Kereru (Ngāi Tūāhuriri) to align to the 2025 PCOA conference theme of connection and community.
