Rotorua is located in the centre of the North Island only a short plane ride from Christchurch. Visitors will have the benefit of a city that is organised and well-prepared to welcome and host international visitors. Rydges Hotel was built in 1998 and is the newest facility in Rotorua, boasting the largest rooms in the country. It is located at the edge of the city centre, half way between the lakeshore and the multitude of seismic attractions surrounding Rotorua, which include geysers, mud pools and hot springs. September in New Zealand is the beginning of spring in the southern hemisphere.
Weather is typically cool but sunny, and therefore one of the best times to visit.
I am sure that you will find the Congress invigorating and stimulating. I am also confident that you will enjoy the city of Rotorua. Attendance will be limited so do not hesitate and register as soon as possible.
