PICC: Host to the world

MANILA, Philippines - More than a convention center, the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) is a national landmark that embodies art, history and culture. Then the only international convention center in Asia, this architectural marvel has a simple yet distinct structure with impressive foundations, creating a floating illusion.

One of Asia’s premier meeting, incentive, conference and exhibition venues, the PICC has a vast range of modern facilities covering 70,000 square meters.

Built on reclaimed land along Manila Bay, the PICC’s 12-hectare compound has a natural landscape setting with gardens, forest and fruit trees, ornamental flowers and greens, and five building modules which include the PICC Forum, a multi-functional facility with enough space to hold 200 exhibition booths. 

There’s also the five-level Delegation Building, which houses 12 meeting rooms, two banquet halls and corporate boardrooms, and executive and secretariat offices.

A low-slung garden bridge connects it to the Plenary Hall, a sculpted indoor forum that can accommodate 3,500 people and has a permanent stage, VIP lounge and dressing rooms.

Banquets are held at the Reception Hall, where up to 5,000 guests can mingle amid swaths of red carpet and giant chandeliers.

Alternatively, the Secretariat Building, in its three stories, has seven meeting halls and rooms, a banquet hall, fine dining restaurant, a cafeteria big enough for 500 guests, and office spaces of various sizes which can be leased.

Truly world-class, the PICC maintains a complete line of support facilities and services, including fixed registration and document distribution counters with secretariat offices, modern audio-visual technology, and conferencing systems.

Truly, the PICC is the perfect venue for every gathering and purpose.
