Bali Nusa Dua Convention Center

Bali Nusa Dua Convention Center sits inside the Nusa Dua ITDC resort enclave in Badung, on the southern tip of Bali, a short drive from the beach hotels that supply most of its delegates. It opened in 2011 and was purpose-built for the MICE market rather than adapted from a hotel ballroom; in November 2011 it served as the venue for the 19th ASEAN Summit and its related summits, which remains its clearest claim to a place in regional diplomatic history. The building contains 44 multi-functional rooms. The largest is the pillarless Nusa Dua Hall at 4,400 sqm, followed by Pecatu Hall at 1,770 sqm, Singaraja Hall at 1,734 sqm and Tanjung Benoa Hall at 920 sqm; 32 further meeting rooms handle break-outs, workshops and press briefings. Total function space is 19,888 sqm, of which 17,122 sqm is exhibition space, and the venue can seat up to 9,000 in theatre format. The 50,000 sqm building sits in 70,000 sqm of gardens, and the resort enclave around it holds roughly 7,500 hotel rooms. The architecture is deliberately Balinese: low-rise pavilions, locally referenced rooflines and craft detail, with the gardens used as breakout and reception space. Barrier-free access, an on-site bonded warehouse and in-house catering support large delegations. Ngurah Rai International Airport is about 10 minutes away by road.
