With a membership of 120
venues, including 58 theatres, 39 event centres, 12 outdoor stadia
and 11 convention centres, EVANZ is the professional organisation
which represents the venue industry in New
Zealand.
The wins come in another
history-making year at Eden Park in which a great range of events
were held at New Zealand's national stadium,
including:
- the World Masters Games
Opening Ceremony,
- three DHL New Zealand Lions
Series 2017 matches,
- Pasifika Challenge (first
Rugby double header),
- NRL9s,
- Super
Rugby,
- the inaugural ASB G9 golf
event,
- domestic and international
cricket fixtures,
- Mates on the Field
Commemoration Service, and
- a number of community
initiatives that have engaged our neighbourhood.
In addition, Eden Park
received approval to host New Zealand's first Day/Night cricket
test in March 2018.
Eden Park CEO Nick Sautner
says these awards recognise industry excellence and acknowledge the
entire Eden Park team's efforts to deliver world-class live events
for the benefit of the Auckland region and the broader
community.
"We'd love to bring our
neighbours, the wider community, people from around the country and
the world even more outstanding live events, we just need to work
through current restrictions that allow only 25 event nights a
year," he says.
"I'd like to thank the entire
Eden Park team, stakeholders, volunteers, suppliers and commercial
partners for embracing change and helping to embed a
high-performance culture here, which is a huge part of our
success.
"Congratulations to all other
category finalists and winners."
