| MEETING & CONFERENCE: | Top |
The multi-purpose facilities of the Adelaide Convention Centre have been enhanced by a stunning extension, which opened in September 2001. With a total area increase of 110%, the extended Centre now accommodates up to 6,500 banquet guests and offers 10,450m² of pillarless floor space for exhibitions and banquets. The extension also improved access from both North Terrace and the upgraded Torrens precinct.
An expansive atrium links the exhibition halls, conference and banquet areas, and the pre-function/foyer area of the Centre offers panoramic views over the river and parklands. Glass enclosed escalators provide guests easy access from North Terrace to the Centre.
There is safe, secure, undercover parking on-site and three drive-in loading areas provide ample access direct from the roadway for staging and equipment needs.

Tiered seating sections may be raised or lowered individually throughout the
hall, creating either a flat floor or theatre style seating where required. The

accommodating from 60 to 3,000 guests. The Hall is ideal for fashion
spectaculars, major presentations and music concerts.
