The Dubai International Convention Centre:

The state-of-the-art Dubai International Convention Centre (DICC) is an ideal setting for international conventions, congresses, corporate meetings, seminars and workshops and is a high-tech venue large enough to accommodate up to 12,000 delegates. The DICC is the venue for Corporate Dubai 2005.

The DICC was first used as the venue for the 2003 Annual General Meeting of the Board of Governors of the World Bank Group and also of the International Monetary Fund which drew around 16,000 attending delegates from around the world. The DICC was highly praised as a result of these two events.

The largest Multipurpose Hall has the capacity to comfortably accommodate from 600 to 6,000 delegates. A total of 22 breakout rooms, in a wide range of modular sizes, complement the Multipurpose Hall. These rooms can accommodate from 50 to 220 delegates and are ideal for use as VIP hospitality suites or seminar rooms. In addition there are 16 breakout rooms and a ballroom available within the adjacent Dubai World Trade Centre complex.

The DICC is complemented by a range of accommodation options on-site  with two hotels  either side of the complex – a 412-room Novotel and a 210-room Ibis business hotel – in addition to the Dubai International Hotel Apartments a short walk away with 492 furnished apartments available in 1, 2 or 3-bedroom configurations.
