Located in China’s northeastern province of Liaoning, Dalian International Conference Center presents an
unmistakable landmark which emblematizes the promising future of a harbor city of Dalian and reflects
Dalian’s tradition of being an important trade center with direct access to the sea. Opened in 2012 and
featuring a shell-shaped roof, the center hosts a multifunctional “small city within a city” with conference
and event rooms for 7,000 visitors in a total area of 117,650 m². It is not only a conference center, but also a
communication center which works on many levels – as a place where people can meet, as a presentation
space for operas, as well as a public plaza.
