Local Accommodations
There is an abundance of reasonably priced hotels and hostels in the surrounding area of our conference, ranging from 5-minute to 20-minute walks, and priced from $75 USD to $150 USD, depending on what you're looking for. You can click here for a map of all hotels with their current pricing. Please note that the dates pre-set for you are from 28 January to 4 February, thus you may need to edit those dates. Link to Local Hotels.
While MOBTS does not have any official accommodations, it is known that attendees seem to be booking at the Four Points by Sheraton. The Sheraton is a beautiful hotel located just 13-minutes walking time away from the campus and reasonably priced at ~$120 USD/night. This is where MOBTS Executive Director Brandon Charpied will be staying, so if you want to be around where some of the other MOBTS people are, this might be your best bet.

Session Building & Rooms
MOBTS Oceania will be hosted in the Sir Owen G. Glenn Building (Business School) at the University of Auckland. If staying at the Four Points by Sheraton, for example, this is 12-minute walk (Map), a 5-minute rideshare (Map), or a 12-minute public transportation (6-minutes of which are walking, thus you may as well walk; Map). The Sir Owen G. Glenn Building may also be referred to as Building 260 on campus maps.
Click here for a PDF version of the campus map. You will notice Building 260 toward the center of the map just above the words 'City Campus'.
Sessions will take place in rooms:
- 260-036
- 260-201G
- 260-206
- 260-349
- 260-481
As we will have a very full program and two of the session rooms are rather tight, we encourage sessions to explore the spaces around the rooms and the building in general, and to consider making use of common spaces that may enhance the experiential nature of their sessions. More information on session rooms will be provided in the forthcoming preliminary program and Pre-Arrival Handbook (PAH) notices.
