Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre to Re-Open its Multi-Purpose Space

Malaysia’s award-winning purpose-built AIPC (International Association of Congress Centres) Gold Standard venue, the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, will re-open its semi-permanent marquee Hall 6 next month, offering more large and small-scale event spaces for corporate travellers.

Located next to the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, connected via Exhibition Hall 5 and the centre’s west wing entrance, Hall 6 provides 2,600sqm of additional multi-purpose function space for the venue to cater to its clients’ growing event size.

Inaugural exhibitions at the centre’s re-opening space include the 14th Malaysia International Halal Showcase (MIHAS) 2017, Home Decor and Design Exhibition (HOMEDEC) 2017, and Active Lifestyle Expo 2017, while Hall 6 is also perfect for cocktail receptions, buffet-style catering, presentations, and town hall meetings.

The centre will also undergo an expansion, due to be completed in mid-2019, which will provide an extra 10,000sqm of space to comfortably accommodate larger exhibitions, international association meetings and concurrent events, providing the opportunity for many current clients to grow their events significantly.

The development will include a 45-storey tower block and enlarged foyer areas on Levels 1 and 3, which will link directly to the existing facilities. There will also be three levels of underground car parking with 1,500 spaces, two levels of retail and dining outlets, a sky garden overlooking the KLCC park, and a rooftop restaurant. This mixed-use commercial development will enhance the centre’s existing world-class infrastructure, and will grow Kuala Lumpur’s reputation as a premier business and international events destination.

“The additional 2,600sqm allows us to address and alleviate our space constraints and accommodate larger events, especially in the exhibitions segment,” says Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre’s general manager, Alan Pryor. “Now open for bookings, Hall 6 will be available for use from April 1, 2017 until our expansion is completed. This is a welcome development for our recurrent and new clients looking to expand their events.”
