The International Convention Centre (ICC) has now completed the second phase of its multi-million-pound refurbishment programme.
The ICC celebrates its 25th birthday this year and the venue felt it was time to change the look and feel of the spaces to create an overall better experience for their customers. The ICC has seen halls 8, 9 and 10 refreshed, along with four of its executive meeting rooms which is a key improvement to the venue. The Public Mall has had large format digital screens installed and the WiFi has also been upgraded. The lighting has also been modernised throughout the Mall, registration and foyer areas.
The next stage of the refurbishment will be completed in 2017, and will focus on additional halls and executive meeting rooms.
