Manchester Central Convention Complex
Manchester Central is the new name for GMEX and the Manchester International Convention Centre, a combination of exhibition and conference facilities that form a unique convention complex right in the heart of the city. For event organisers, Manchester Central has the flexibility to handle all scale of events with two exhibition halls, a purpose built auditorium and breakout rooms, plus a suite of corporate meeting facilities. The main exhibition space, Central Hall, provides a single column-free area that can be used for conventional exhibition layouts or for more unusual installations that utilise the height and character of the interior. Central Hall can also be subdivided into two smaller halls. 2009 promises to be an exciting year for Manchester Central as the convention complex’s is undergoing a multi-million pound redevelopment programme, which will provide greater ease of access throughout the site, and additional facilities.
