Victoria University of Wellington | Wellington, New Zealand
SAVE THE DATE! WEAI is pleased to be partnering with Victoria University of Wellington for the next Pacific Rim Conference in spectacular New Zealand. Wellington is nestled between a picturesque harbour and forested hills with views everywhere. The world's southern-most capital city, Wellington is a pleasure to walk around with a lively waterfront and bays all around the harbor to enjoy. The coastline and native forests also make it an ideal place to enjoy nature.
