Barrie Markey, managing director of ICMS, a conference organising company, said:
“The number of meeting rooms and the exhibition space will provide excellent facilities for the majority of regional and national conferences currently held in other centres.”
He added: “I can see Darwin emulating the success of Cairns as a ‘must go’ regional destination.”
The new convention centre will be able to seat 1,500 delegates in its largest space and will also feature 4,000 sqm of exhibition space.
