Welcome to Ireland's New World Class Convention Centre opening 1st September 2010

The landmark building was designed by Pritzker award-winning Irish architect Kevin Roche, and features a stunning glass fronted atrium running the full height of the building - giving visitors panoramic views of the River Liffey, Dublin city centre and the Wicklow mountains

Positioned in Spencer Dock on the banks of the River Liffey, The Convention Centre Dublin is Ireland's new world-class, purpose-built international conference and event venue.

Providing an exceptional venue for Irish and International conferences and corporate events, the centre's iconic status combines spacious, flexible and elegant conference halls, leading-edge technology with expert management and an extensive range of support services.

Manchester Central redevelopment brings a whole new look and feel to the site.....

2009 was a significant year for the venue's extensive £28.5 million redevelopment programme with the completion of the new central Foyer.  The foyer has given the venue a brand new look and additional meeting rooms with capacities ranging from 40 to 180.  In total, the new look and extended foyer can accommodate up to 2000 people.

Manchester Central is part way through the extensive redevelopment programme and the investment is starting to pay dividends in attracting an increasing number of high profile events to the city.

 Harrogate International Centre redevelopment plans met with excitement

 News that HIC has received funding for its ongoing development plans has been met with much excitement from the trade and local communities alike in that it will allow the Centre to firmly lead the way in the conferencing and events industry.

 The £13 million capital scheme will start in spring 2010 and be completed by autumn 2011. It includes the development of two new event halls totalling 3,400 square metres. Not only does this provide an extra 20% capacity but improved flexibility of hall layouts will also allow multiple events to run alongside each other. The new halls, which will incorporate first-class facilities and the latest in technology, will also be linked to the Centre’s existing conference and exhibition spaces. For example, hall heights will be in the region of six metres, opening up the potential for specialised exhibitions where exhibitors require increased clearance for large machinery and vehicles.

 The scheme will also see some important external improvements, including a new and extended entrance to the Springfield House lobby area. Outside, the footway leading to the Centre entrance will be widened and a new outdoor covered piazza-style dining area created. And, in line with Harrogate’s international reputation as a floral town, the footway will be restored as a tree-lined boulevard.

Visitors to The National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, will now have a chance to practice their swing, thanks to the installation of a new driving range on the site.

Officially opened by golfing legend Tony Jacklin, the driving range was installed by Clevertee Golf, and is set conveniently adjacent to The NEC’s main entrance, close to the exhibition halls.
