BCEC on Grey Street

The newly opened BCEC on Grey Street, the five level, $140 million expansion of the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre (BCEC), has changed the national landscape for meetings and events and is already making an impact on the global business events market, the highest yielding tourism sector in Australia.

Boutique in concept, dramatic in architecture and already successfully attracting an increased share of international and national conference events, BCEC on Grey Street is the latest showpiece of convention infrastructure in Australia.  

Delivering a new dimension to the industry’s offering in Australia, BCEC on Grey Street was designed to meet an evolving market for smaller and medium sized meetings with two auditoria for 400 and 600 with accompanying foyer space, speakers’ facilities and private boardrooms, allowing delegates to ‘own’ the floor for their conference.
 
The newly expanded BCEC which is operated by international venue management group, AEG Ogden, now delivers unprecedented flexibility and more choices for meetings of all sizes from 8 to 8,000 delegates.

The expansion of the Centre’s facilities with 52% increase in convention space, a  total of 44 meeting rooms and the only Centre in Australia with three stand alone tiered auditoria clearly establishes it as Australia’s most flexible meetings venue.

With its first events commencing in mid February, BCEC on Grey Street is already holding 292 bookings and has confirmed conventions to date generating in excess of $70 million in economic benefit to Brisbane and Queensland.
