King of Snake, Level 1, 79 Cashel Street, Christchurch Central City
The 2026 NZSTI Conference Gala Dinner is one of the highlights of the conference weekend. Join us for an evening of great food, conversation, and connection at King of Snake, one of Christchurch’s most iconic restaurants. King of Snake is known for its award-winning Euro-Asian cuisine. The restaurant’s central city location and unique setting provide the perfect backdrop for an evening of celebration with colleagues from across Aotearoa and beyond.
Guests will enjoy a shared set-menu dining experience and each ticket includes a complimentary drink on arrival. Additional beverages will be available for purchase throughout the evening.
The Gala Dinner is a chance to step away from the conference programme, celebrate the profession, strengthen connections, and enjoy a memorable evening with the NZSTI community. Whether you are reconnecting with long-time colleagues or meeting new people for the first time, this is always one of the most anticipated events of the weekend.
Please note any dietary requirements when booking. You can purchase an extra ticket for one guest (maximum) when registering.
Dress code: Smart attire. As this event starts an hour after the conference ends you are welcome to attend in the same attire, just bring your best self.
Tickets are strictly limited due to venue capacity and are expected to sell out. We recommend booking early to avoid missing out!
