Accommodation
We encourage you not to delay booking your accommodation, as October is a very popular time of year for visitors to New Zealand.
A limited number of rooms have been reserved on behalf of symposium delegates at a number of hotels in Christchurch. Accommodation is subject to availability and will be allocated when a booking is received. To secure the symposium accommodation rates, bookings must be made online as part of the registration process. The booking deadline is Thursday 25 September 2025.
Please notify your requests for changes or cancellation by email directly to the symposium organiser via cdnm@expertevents.com.au. Each hotel has its own cancellation policy from 30 days prior to arrival, ranging from one night cancellation fee to 100% cancellation fee, depending on the date of cancellation. Please ensure you understand the policy for the hotel you are booking.
Please indicate your estimated time of arrival during the booking process. If you wish to guarantee your room is ready before the hotel check-in time, it is recommended that you book and pay for the room for the evening prior to your arrival. Failure to advise your arrival time if arriving after 18:00 may mean that your room will be released.
If you wish to extend your stay prior to or following the symposium, please specify your requirements in the additional nights required field during the booking process. Availability and rates will be checked with the hotel before your reservations is fully confirmed.
Please note that payment for accommodation is not taken at the time of registration; however, a credit card is required at the time of booking to secure your room with the hotel. If you will not have the credit card at check-in because it is a workplace card or not in your name, you will need to complete a credit card authorisation form. Please email the symposium organisers at cdnm@expertevents.com.au to request this form.
From 30 days prior to arrival, hotels will charge this credit card for all your accommodation charges. Please ensure you understand each hotel’s payment policy (outlined below).
