Brisbane Convention Center

Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre
With a stunning location and world-class conference and meeting facilities, the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre has become the envy of other world cities. Successfully able to accommodate and manage events of any size, the centre is easily accessible by car, ferry, train and bus and is only a short 20-minute drive from Brisbane Airport. Located in South Bank, the cultural heart of Brisbane, the centre is just a short walk from big attractions such as the
Queensland Performing Arts Centre
Queensland Performing Arts Centre and the Queensland Cultural Centre, as well as over 30 restaurants, cafes and shops and Brisbane's riverfront parkland.

Built over three levels, the centre has been designed to provide flexibility and versatility to any event, as spaces can be tailored to meet planners' needs. Four exhibition halls contain a total of 20,000 square meters of clear span floor space. The Great Hall can accommodate 4,000 people, but can also expand to to fit groups as large as 8,000 people. It can also be split into four smaller auditoriums with raised seating and direct access to Conveners' offices, the registration area and the exhibition halls. Other features include executive appointed boardrooms, the 1,581-square-meter Plaza Ballroom and a wide variety of different sized meeting rooms. Additionally, its special South Bank River Room is a picturesque spot for dinners and receptions of up to 300 guests.

Work is currently underway on an AU$130 million expansion program, due for completion in 2010. This expansion will create five new levels of boutique convention facilities including another ballroom and two more stand-alone plenary halls. When the expansion is complete, Brisbane will boast the most flexible meetings and events venue in the country.

Fully integrated in-house services complement the centre's adaptable space, including award-winning in-house catering and three dedicated Speakers' Presentation Centres. These centres come fully-equipped with the latest presentation technology, a welcome lounge and soundproof rehearsal rooms. A comprehensive Audio-Visual Department with highly skilled technology specialists ensures the technical side of events is conducted with seamless professionalism. Other amenities include on-site security and parking for 1,600 vehicles.
