Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre (Brisbane, Australia)
Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre is an Exhibit Within Itself
Located in South Brisbane overlooking the city’s Central Business District (CBD), Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre (BCEC) boasts over 40 multi-functional event and meeting spaces. Its impressive scale is emphasised by the use of steel and glass cladding covering most of the building’s facade. No matter the event, BCEC is able to quite literally transform its spaces to accommodate the needs of just about any function. Since its opening in 1995, this venue has hosted some of the world’s biggest events, including the 2014 G20 Australia Summit. Its position relative to the CBD, the various amenities and services available on site, as well as cleverly integrated transport systems, makes this convention centre one of the best in the world.
There’s no Shortage of Space at BCEC
Whether you’re attending a convention or concert in one of the main halls, holding a meeting in an executive boardroom, or organising a function at The Sky Room & Terrace, each space at BCEC is equipped with the latest technology in audio and visual equipment. It’s easy to become overwhelmed with just the thought of how many different spaces BCEC has to offer. Fortunately, there are maps available throughout the building. Besides the event and conference halls, you’ll also find a few casual dining options that will more than satisfy your appetite. Olio Cafe & Bar is situated in the Grey Street foyer, and serves an impressive range of Mediterranean dishes which are carefully constructed by professional chefs every day of the week. This restaurant also caters to vegetarians and those with gluten free diets. Alternatively, you can head over to Merivales Cafe Bar & Restaurant, situated in Merivale Street Main Foyer, and enjoy a selection of gourmet sandwiches with fresh coffee, cakes, and pastries.
Accessibility is Everything
With such a prime location in the heart of the city, it’s hard to see why you’d find a problem getting to and from Brisbane Convention Centre. If you’re travelling from the airport, you’ll be able to take the AirTrain directly to South Brisbane Station. Otherwise, South Brisbane Railway Station is situated adjacent to BCEC, and The Cultural Centre Bus Station is a minute or two away on foot. If you’re arriving in your own car, there are over 1500 underground parking bays available at a hourly rate.
Staying in the Heart of Brisbane
It’s no surprise that there are an abundance of accommodation options in Brisbane’s CBD, several of which stand out in terms of value, luxury, and convenience. Stamford Plaza Brisbane is located just over two kilometres from BCEC, and provides its guests with opulent facilities including a spa, heated pool, sauna, and a fully equipped fitness centre. Guests can also indulge in the high tea buffet, which is served in the elegant dining room. A limousine service offers guests convenient transfers to and from BCEC at an additional charge.
If you’re all about being as close to the action as possible, Rydges South Bank Brisbane Hotel is just a stone’s throw away from one of the entrances to the convention centre. As impressive as its location, this hotel’s facilities are far from basic. You’ll be able to enjoy a large outdoor pool area, stunningly beautiful interiors, as well as a fine dining restaurant.
