Newly built Addis International Convention Center to be Inaugurated Today

Addis Ababa, March 1, 2025 (ENA)—The newly built Addis International Convention Center (AICC) is going to be inaugurated this evening.

The largest conference center in the country, hosting both national and international events, it was learned.

The inauguration of AICC marks a major milestone in Ethiopia’s efforts to establish itself as a premier destination for global events, conference tourism, and exhibitions.

Situated on 40 hectares of prime land, the center is designed to accommodate a diverse range of events, from corporate gatherings to cultural festivals, significantly enhancing the country’s hospitality and tourism sectors.

 

The Center also features two large halls, each with a capacity to accommodate 3,000 to 4,000 people including eight small and medium meeting halls, accommodating a total of up to 10,000 people.

With cutting-edge infrastructure, the center aims to foster both local and international collaboration, offering world-class facilities for those attending major events.

 It is positioned to become the largest conference facility in Ethiopia and one of the most expansive in East Africa, bolstering the country’s standing in the international events and MICE industry.

 

The center’s modern infrastructure is paired with a prime location, strategically adjacent to Lemi Park, which offers a serene yet accessible environment for both business professionals and visitors.

This proximity to one of the city’s largest public spaces also is anticipated to the convention center’s role in further enhancing the city’s vibrancy and economic activity.
