KUALA LUMPUR, July 2 (NNN) — Malaysia’s iconic Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (Centre)’s brand-new 11,000 sqm expansion is officially open for business as the venue hosts its inaugural event in the multi-purpose space – ARCHIDEX, which also becomes the first event to utilise the entire Centre’s space.
In a press release today, the Centre said the expansion is to comfortably accommodate larger events, as well as host more events simultaneously. It added that the new flexible spaces will be able to accommodate innovative and experiential delivery of events and have been designed to easily adapt to any customer requirements.
This purpose-built space allows clients to explore new meeting designs, networking hubs and customise their delegate experience to suit any occasion.
New additions include an expansive foyer area adjoining the Plenary Hall, for wonderful networking, cocktail and social engagement activities.
With an excellent track record in hosting large international association meetings, the Centre is delighted to now provide more space for these clients to grow their events. The prospect of bidding for larger national, regional and international conventions is also now a very viable option.
“This is another huge milestone and step forward for the Centre and we are delighted to use the new space to meet the growing demand and evolving needs of our industry,” said the Centre’s General Manager, Alan Pryor.
“The expansion enhances our world-class reputation as Malaysia’s premier purpose-built convention centre and strengthens the country’s attractive and affordable business events proposition.”
Meanwhile, Dato’ Vincent Lim, President of C.I.S Network Sdn Bhd, the Organiser of ARCHIDEX, said: “We are thrilled to be hosting the first event to utilise the Centre’s new expansion. We have enjoyed working closely with the Centre since 2005 and the journey so far has seen our event grow from almost 10,000 sqm of exhibition space to over 30,000 sqm this year… The additional space has given us more options to embrace innovative ideas for our exhibition as a whole.”
