Jakarta Convention Center

Jakarta International Convention Center, still widely called JCC, stands inside the Gelora Bung Karno sports complex on Jalan Gatot Subroto in central Jakarta. Its history is unusually long for the region: the original building was completed in 1974 for the Pacific Asia Travel Association conference, having been begun in the 1960s as part of Soekarno's programme of national showcase architecture. The founding structure is a dome-shaped plenary hall designed by Soejoedi Wirjoatmodjo, seating 5,000 and still the complex's signature interior. A major expansion was added for the 10th Non-Aligned Movement Summit in September 1992, bringing the Assembly Hall at 3,921 sqm, two exhibition halls and 13 meeting rooms. Hall A measures 3,060 sqm and Hall B 6,075 sqm. The venue has since hosted the 2005 and 2015 Asian–African Commemorative Summits, the 2011 and 2023 ASEAN Summits, and served as the media and international broadcast centre for the 2018 Asian Games. In January 2025 the Gelora Bung Karno complex management took over operations from PT Graha Sidang Pratama and renamed it JICC. An air-conditioned tunnel with moving walkways links it to the Hotel Sultan. A 105-day refurbishment before the 2023 summit extended the lobby and renewed the interiors. TransJakarta corridors on Gatot Subroto stop at Halte JCC Senayan behind the venue, with a second approach from Sudirman; the airport is 16 miles away, 45 to 60 minutes by taxi.
