ICC Belfast has picked up its third major international award of the year.
ICC Belfast has picked up its third major international award of the year, in the face of competition from some of the biggest and best known exhibition and convention venues around the world. The latest win recognises the Belfast venue’s outstanding event technology.
In May, ICC Belfast triumphed at the global Eventex awards, alongside entrants from 62 countries and celebrating events such as One Young World, Cyber UK and events by brands including Disney, Toyota and Porsche. ICC Belfast took gold in the global Convention Centre category.
In June, ICC Belfast picked up the top prize in the micebook awards as Best UK Event Venue, up against centres including ACC Liverpool and Tobacco Dock.
And for the treble, at this month’s Event Technology Awards, ICC Belfast has picked up one of the top prizes for ‘Most Innovative and High-tech Venue’.
Iain Bell, Acting Chief Executive of ICC Belfast said,
Independent judging panels are consistently recognising ICC Belfast’s excellence, achievements, and innovation: we can confidently say that it is an internationally competitive venue. ICC Belfast is now being selected from among the best offerings across the world of conferences and events.
“Technology can make or break the event experience, and we are proud to have some of the best in the business leading our innovative in-house team, delivering exceptional technology experiences for huge global event clients."
“In addition, our commitment to sustainable event management has earned us international recognition. Together with our hospitality partners, we are proud to champion sustainability with a strong focus on local sourcing. Achieving ISO20121 certification - the globally recognised standard for sustainable event management - positions ICC Belfast as a leader in this space. We are the only venue in Northern Ireland to hold this accreditation and one of only a handful across the island of Ireland."
As the landmark convention centre in the heart of Belfast, this trio of wins is tremendous for the venue and the city. It is a credit to our whole team, who go above and beyond to deliver our trademark Belfast Welcome to event organisers and delegates from around the world.
"I’d like to congratulate every one of them for playing their part in a momentous and truly award-winning year for ICC Belfast. It’s a fantastic boost for the team to end the year on this high! ”
