Claudelands Conference and Exhibition Centre today celebrated its first birthday by playing host to more than 1,000 of the top players in the agricultural science, milk and food industries.
Around 12,000 people attended the unveiling of Hamilton’s new Claudelands complex last Saturday 18 June 2011 and the $68.4 million venue didn’t fail to impress!
Almost 1000 veterinarians, veterinary nurses, front line staff, vet business managers and industry exhibitors poured into Hamilton from all over the world this week for the New Zealand Veterinary Association (NZVA) Conference which started yesterday at Claudelands Hamilton.
You can be amongst the first to set foot in Hamilton’s newest events venue and explore areas normally off-limits to the public at the Claudelands Open Day this month.
With Claudelands Exhibition Centre open and just months to go until the launch of the Conference Centre in April and Claudelands Arena in July, the resulting economic impact is set to boost local businesses.
Hamilton’s event facilities appoint new international technical services manager in preparation for arena launch.
Standing 23-metres tall, Claudelands is making a bold impression on Hamilton's cityscape, we talked to the Design Director behind the development, UK-Architect Anthony Flannery from Chow:Hill, to find out more about the venue's design.
On first glance that pile of concrete rubble and mound of dirt currently visible on site at Claudelands are exactly just that…but dig a little deeper and you’ll learn these are just some of the many environmentally sustainable design elements that have been factored into this significant project.
