ICC Belfast, Waterfront Hall and Ulster Hall has launched an executive search for a new Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The strategic role will build on the three iconic Belfast venues’ strong and historic foundations in entertainment, culture, conferencing and events.
The successful candidate will play a pivotal part in driving the future growth of the city and the region as a business tourism and international conference destination.

ICC Belfast was recognised as the 'Best UK Event Venue' at the Micebook Awards 2024, highlighting its excellence in delivering world-class facilities and impactful, high-quality events. ICC Belfast was also a contender for the 'Best Convention Centre' title at the recent Conference & Events Awards 2024, positioning it among the top venues globally.
The new CEO will succeed Julia Corkey, who held the role for four years.
