With multiple meeting rooms, lounges, auditoriums, an amphitheater, and a business center, the Convention Centre offers unparalleled versatility for hosting a diverse range of events.
What truly sets the Convention Centre apart is the magnificent multi-purpose hall and plenary hall, with a staggering combined capacity of seven thousand people. This capacity surpasses even the world-renowned Sydney Opera House in Australia. Moreover, the majestic Amphitheater within the complex boasts a seating capacity of 3,000 individuals, making it an ideal venue for grand performances and cultural events.
