Personal selection of regular events that are worth checking out…

Auckland Conversations, approx. monthly – brilliant free talks by national and international speakers on all things urban, organised by Auckland Council

Late at the Museum, monthly during winter – interesting panel discussions, live music and always popular

Pecha Kucha, monthly – like a faster version of TEDx, each presenter has 20 slides but only 20 seconds a slide, all done in less than seven minutes…

Nerd Nite, monthly – for those who love science, technology and interesting if random talks

Art Explore, weekly – excellent guided walks around the galleries of Auckland with NZ Herald’s Art Critic

Auckland 20s & 30s Social Group – slightly biased but pretty good place to look for interesting / entertaining events
