Glenlo have put together lots of lovely, fun events and packages for 2018.

There are lots of new nightclubs, restaurants and fun events.

There will be something for everyone this year given the more than 450 talks, presentations and fun events.

And, of course, there are fun events like the season of Bond films playing down on the sand.

This year, TV's Cartoon Network will be taking over The New Children's Museum to host fun events for kids.

There are plenty of fun events for children too and opportunities to stock up on plants for your garden.

The fun events create opportunities for local developers to converge on a lively interactive environment and meet people playing their games.

Christchurch organiser Glen Koorey explains a bit more about it and to gives us a rundown of the fun events planned.

While, children and adults alike will enjoy the various fun events and amazing science shows, there is a deeper purpose behind the week.
