Dublin Convention Centre is a conference venue Dublin should be proud of. It really has helped Dublin to compete as a world class Conference destination with conference facilities that compare to the top 10 in the world.
The Conference capacities at a glance – I put this together as it took me an hour of trawling through the DCC site to find this!
- 22 conference rooms, multi functional and flexible.
- Capacity of 3000 theatre style, 2000 in the Auditorium
- Capacity of 2000 banqueting style
- Total capacity of 8000 conference delegates
- Ceiling height up to 8m
- 2 commercial lifts for ease of access and set up
For those of you with an interest in “Eco” friendly venues, it is the first carbon neutral conference centre in the world and for the techies it is one of the most technologically sophisticated venues in the world.
It is located close to a host of great conference hotels such as the gibson, Clarion IFSC, Maldron Hotel Cardiff Lane. The local transport – the Luas, also runs right to the door, making it extremely accessible. Parking is available for a few hundred cars also – not that you want that many in the area at the same time!
While I do get feedback that it can be a bit expensive, for local events that don’t need the high spec of technology, I would agree. But for large Association conferences and exhibitions, when you consider the fact that a quote includes all the AV, technology, signage, carpeting, heating etc that so many venues of its size quote for separately, it compares well to conference venues around the world. Dublin is also now recognised by hotels.com as one of the cheapest in Europe for hotel accommodation. This is a massive consideration for any conference organiser.
