The purpose built Bournemouth International Centre (BIC) is a premier UK conference, exhibition and entertainment venue. Its stunning location in Bournemouth’s town centre offers sea views and proximity to over 9,000 en-suite hotel rooms. It’s nearby sister venue, the Pavilion Theatre and Ballroom offers additional meeting and banqueting facilities and can be video-linked to the BIC. They are the preferred venues of large commercial and corporate organisations, trade and public exhibitions and the political parties. The BIC has the flexibility to accommodate large multi-hall conferences down to smaller, intimate meetings and exhibitions. Its showpiece is the Windsor Hall and alongside the three other unique halls and break out space, the BIC has the ability to hold 10,000 people. Recent major expansion added a fourth auditorium and increased capacities, making the BIC the largest venue on the South Coast. The top class facilities including an adjacent multi-storey car park, means it attracts top national and international events all year round. All four halls are inter-connected and can be video linked. For instance, one hall can be used for a conference, two for linked exhibitions and the fourth to provide either catering or entertainment facilities. Alternatively, all four auditoria are equally available for one event requiring parallel use. There are also break out rooms throughout the Centre, accommodating groups up to 250 theatre-style. With increased capacity, increased flexibility and improved facilities, the BIC has remained a firm favourite with delegates and event organisers. The historic Pavilion Theatre and Ballroom is set to undergo a £3.29m refurbishment. A specialist dance centre will occupy the Pavilion’s former Ocean Room. The new South West Regional Dance Centre will feature studios and a theatre capable of seating 200. The project is set for completion in 2010. The BIC and Pavilion attract approximately 66,000 conference delegates and 42,000 exhibition visitors every year; business tourism adds an estimated £115m to Bournemouth’s economy, of which £65m is directly attributed to the BIC and Pavilion.
