Canterbury Conference Expo venue, Hotel Grand Chancellor has several major international conferences confirmed for 2010.

With the largest in-hotel conference centre in the South Island, the level 14 venue is completely dedicated and self-contained with nine different conference rooms and the flexibility to cater for 10 to 1000 delegates with ease.

Bree Jones, the hotel's Business Development Executive - Conferences and Events says at least five major conferences are already confirmed for next year, kicking off in January with a teachers' conference of 600 delegates. Others booked for next year include the Trans-Tasman Endodontic conference and the Association of Wall & Ceiling Industries (AWCI) conference.

"Christchurch is the premier conference destination in New Zealand so it's great for us to be working with the Bureau and other business partners to show what's on our doorstep to local, national and Australian buyers," she says.
