BCEC on Grey Street

Dramatic and stunning, the glass facade of BCEC on Grey Street has been revealed for all to see, with internal fit out to some areas already completed  and inspected ready for handover.

Construction of the boutique expansion of the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre (BCEC) will be completed later this year, creating Australia’s most flexible meetings and events venue.

Commissioning of the building is now only a couple of months away and with 62 confirmed bookings for the Grey Street expansion, the unique nature of the venue is proving a popular and effective solution for meeting planners and event organisers world-wide.  

There is consistently strong interest particularly from the smaller international scientific meetings and associations who are impressed by the quality and flexibility of the development.

This is a landmark year for BCEC with the completion of BCEC on Grey Street and international and national business growing strongly. The Centre will host a record 122 conventions this year attracting some 76,000 delegates and visitors to Brisbane.

The addition of BCEC on Grey Street onto the market will deliver a new dimension to the industry’s offering in Australia.  It is designed to meet an increased demand for smaller and medium sized meetings with two auditoria for 400 and 600 with accompanying foyer space, speakers’ facilities and private boardrooms, allowing delegates to ‘own’ the floor for their conference.

The newly expanded BCEC, which is operated by leading international venue management group AEG Ogden, delivers more flexibility and more choices for a wider range of meetings from 200 to 8,000 than has previously ever been offered.

BCEC General Manager, Bob O’Keeffe said the addition of Grey Street to the Centre’s existing facilities added a robust dynamic into the competition mix. “We now offer unprecedented flexibility for meeting planners for events of all types and sizes, under the one roof and catered for to the highest standards of personalised service.”

Mr O’Keeffe said the new development will enhance Brisbane’s growing international profile and existing strong appeal as a leading meetings destination.
