US$1.49bn being invested in redevelopments to Global Alliance venues

ADELAIDE - Global Alliance is an international group of conference and exhibition centres that have joined forces to offer a seamless conference and event experience to international associations and event organisers whose events rotate around the world. Global Alliance members include: The Durban International Convention Centre (South Africa); Adelaide Convention Centre (Australia); Centro Banamex (Mexico); ACC Liverpool (United Kingdom); and AdvantageBOSTON (United States of America).

Adelaide Convention Centre is undergoing a US$314m expansion which will see the facility expanded over railway lines to link with Morphett Street Bridge. The existing plenary building, home to the first convention centre in Australia in 1987, will be replaced with a multi-purpose facility with plenary capacity of up to 3,500 seats. The expansion includes an additional 4,300sqm of multipurpose convention floor space, associated pre-function spaces, multiple meeting spaces and a ballroom built on a ‘bridge-like’ structure over the railway tracks. The new multi-purpose facility will consist of 3,000sqm of flat floor space for events.
