Tākina is a convention centre in Wellington, New Zealand. The name means "to invoke, to summon, to connect, or to bring forth" in the Māori language. The building's main entrance is on Cable Street opposite Te Papa, the Museum of New Zealand, and there is another public entrance on Wakefield Street. Tākina is owned by Wellington City Council. Proposals for a new convention centre in Wellington go back at least to the 1990s. In 1998, then-Mayor Mark Blumsky was interested in turning the failing Queens Wharf retail centre into a convention centre. At that time conventions were being held at Te Papa, the Town Hall and Michael Fowler Centre (known together as the Wellington Convention Centre), Victoria University and at hotels. The chief executive of the Wellington Chamber of Commerce didn't think a large venue was needed and asked if conventions should be a core business for the city council. More information...
