Auckland Convention Centre at THE EDGE®

THE EDGE® manages three of Auckland’s landmark buildings - Aotea Centre, The Civic and Auckland Town Hall – as well as the city’s largest outdoor CBD space – Aotea Square. THE EDGE® is New Zealand’s leading performing arts, commercial entertainment and convention facility, and a central feature of Auckland’s Aotea Quarter.

As a business our focus is less on bricks and mortar and more on delivering experiences that engage, delight, inspire, educate and inform. We work to provide a diverse range of commercial and non-commercial activities within the conventions, performing arts, cultural and entertainment sectors.

Our non-commercial activities, or Public Programmes offering, is the result of a funding agreement with the Auckland City Council. This agreement requires us to deliver a wide range of arts and cultural activities to ratepayers and residents of Auckland City in fulfilment of part of the Council’s Arts Agenda policy objectives.

We are governed by The Aotea Centre Board of Management, which has an agreement with Auckland City to operate and manage the venues under the trading name THE EDGE®. As a result the Aotea Centre Board of Management is required to report to the Auckland City Council’s Finance and Corporate Business Committee.

THE EDGE® website enables you to view and search on events taking place at the Aotea Centre, The Civic and Auckland Town Hall and to purchase tickets for these events. Patrons can arrive at these 90 minutes before scheduled performances.
