From January 2010 until May 2011 I worked on a full-time basis at the TelstraClear Pacific Events Centre, located in Manukau, Auckland. As Event Coordinator I was responsible for providing a seamless and consistent service for the client, from the management of bookings, requirements, planning & logistics and contracts, through to delivery of events.

The events centre facilitates events like concerts, corporate events, conferences, exhibitions, meetings and weddings. The two main venues are an arena with a capacity of 3000 people and a theatre with a capacity of 700 people. Furthermore, there are several foyers and function rooms which can be used for smaller events.
