16th International Conference on Early Intervention and Prevention in Mental Health

About Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland
Welcome to Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland – a place where natural beauty, cultural richness, and modern city life come together in a way that feels both inspiring and welcoming.
Auckland is more than New Zealand’s largest city. It is a meeting place of people, stories, and traditions, shaped by its deep Māori heritage and its diverse, multicultural communities. From the vibrant waterfront and bustling city centre to the խաղաղ зелён spaces and volcanic landscapes that surround it, Auckland offers a unique balance of energy and calm.


Known as the “city of sails,” Auckland is defined by its connection to the ocean, with two harbours, nearby islands, and countless coastal experiences just moments away. It is also a hub of innovation and learning, home to leading universities, research centres, and a growing creative and tech sector.
For delegates attending IEPA 16, Auckland provides not only a dynamic setting for conversation and collaboration, but also space to reflect, explore, and connect. Whether it’s discovering local food and culture, walking along the coastline, or experiencing the warmth of its communities, there is something here for everyone.
Alongside the ideas and connections you will build during the conference, we encourage you to take time to experience the city itself. Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland is not just the host of IEPA 16 – it is part of the experience, offering a setting where diverse voices, new perspectives, and meaningful connections can truly flourish.
