Why Hire
BIC is particularly strong for large residential conferences and exhibitions because it combines a 4,000-capacity main auditorium with three further substantial halls, extensive breakout provision and large-scale catering and production infrastructure. Its central seafront position also gives delegates easy access to Bournemouth's hotels, restaurants and leisure facilities rather than placing them on an out-of-town exhibition campus.
