Amy Johnston is the sales and event coordinator at Eventfinda Stadium. She says she’s typically the main person handling an event from enquiry to doors closing at the end of the event. Eventfinda Stadium is Auckland's original indoor venue; Amy says it's a super versatile venue that can adapt to any type of event, going from a rock concert one night to a community basketball tournament the next day. It hosts a wide mix of events including community sports tournaments, expos, international sports games, awards dinners, cultural concerts and even smaller-scale meetings and conferences. Amy says that the great thing about her role is that no two days are the same. She’s always been the organiser in her friend group so events felt like a natural fit, and after coming home from the Walt Disney World Cultural Exchange Program in 2020, she decided to study event management.
Channel Magazine: Is Instagram a source of inspiration for Eventfinda Stadium? Who do you recommend following and why?
Amy Johnston: I like using Instagram to check out what other people in the industry are doing and take a lot of inspiration from them. @thegrounds for bold and creative venue/event styling and @lucyseventhire does some pretty cool things and has a great personal touch to posts.
Which other local businesses do social media well?
@onelovelydaystyling for beautiful, cohesive event setups and @motiveeventsnz for strong large-scale event production and execution.
What’s happening at Eventfinda Stadium that you want locals to know about?
We have the Auckland Tuatara season starting on 11 April and the first Mystics home-away-from-home game on 26 April. There's always a lot happening at the stadium, people can check out our website for more upcoming events. We also have great meeting and conference spaces available for hire with optional catering or use of our private bar which is perfect for post-event drinks and networking. A really good option for businesses wanting something a bit different from a standard meeting space.

We can’t go past an ice cream, whatever the weather and this chocolate cookies and cream looks incredible. New Zealand-made and family-owned goodness.
