Coronet
Peak is only 15 minutes drive from Queenstown. It has just commenced a
$20M redevelopment of its base station which will now be counted as one
of the worlds best. It has also just commenced a multimillion dollar
massive snow-making investment to extend the length of its season. The
Remarkables are a 30 minute drive from the town center. Cardona (45
minutes) and Treble Cone (90 minutes) are well known to previous
registrants of the Wanaka Conference.
Queenstown is also famous for its restaurants, cafes, golf courses and fishing.
As
usual the conference will involve entertaining presentations and
workshops given by a variety of specialists who are leaders in their
respective fields. Presentations run from 0700-0900 and 1730-1930.
There will be many planned social engagements and “theme nights”.
