The Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre (GCCEC) recently celebrated its 20th anniversary on June 29.
The A$167 million (US$111.5 million) GCCEC opened in 2004 as Australia’s largest regional convention centre, and was later expanded in 2009 – two multifunction halls, three meeting rooms and three kitchens were added – to meet demand. Current total exhibition space is 10,000m2.
Nick Jeffrey, acting general manager of GCCEC, commented: “The Centre has been a major economic driver to the region, supporting local business and employment, attracting leaders of industry, sport and entertainment to our city. In fact, last month The International Communications Association Conference attracted more than A$8 million in economic benefit.”
