Penang Waterfront Convention Center expected to complete in 2025

Penang is well on its way to becoming a premier destination for conventions and tourism with the Penang Waterfront Convention Center’s construction in full swing. According to State Tourism and Creative Economy Committee chairman Wong Hon Wai, the convention center is expected to have its grand opening in mid-2025.

This ambitious project underlines Penang’s commitment to achieving international recognition as a top destination for conventions and tourism. With a substantial capacity of up to 6,000 participants, the convention center is perfectly suited for a wide range of events, from small conferences to large-scale exhibitions. What sets it apart is its proximity to luxury five-star hotels and shopping centers, offering attendees and visitors unparalleled convenience and indulgence.

A pivotal factor in this development’s success is its prime location. Facing the scenic Penang waterfront, the convention center enjoys excellent road connectivity to major transportation hubs, including the Penang Bridge, the airport, and the under-construction Ayer Itam Bypass leading to Penang Hill

The completion of the Penang Waterfront Convention Center is set to revolutionize Penang’s conference industry. Numerous organizations have already made advance bookings, heralding a future filled with local and international conferences and exhibitions. This development promises to infuse new economic vitality into Penang and attract international visitors, ensuring the city’s prosperity.
