The Christchurch Convention Centre was New Zealand's only purpose-built Convention Centre. Christchurch's Mayor Vicki Buck opened it in November 1997. In August 2011, the Convention Centre and several other public buildings were "recommended for demolition" because of extensive damage suffered in the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake[1] and an aftershock on 13 June.[2]

The Christchurch Convention Centre is located in city centre. An airbridge linked the Convention Centre to the Christchurch Town Hall and the Crowne Plaza Hotel.[3]
The Convention Centre had a capacity of 2,500 people. There were seven breakout rooms, and three halls could be hired separately or together to host major plenary sessions for 2,200 people theatre-style.[3]
The Christchurch Convention Centre hosted many international conferences including APEC Small and Medium Enterprise Economics Conference, Shiseido Japan, New Zealand Law Society, Law ASIA, and the 11th Asian Retailers Conference and Exhibition, as well as many charity gala dinners.[citation needed]
