At the heart of this emerging destination is the award-winning ICC Belfast, a city landmark that sits on Belfast’s waterfront, where glass vistas maximise the venue’s light and its connection to river and sky. The venue offers 7,000 sqm of flexible and inclusive event space and access to a world-class event team.

PASSIONATE HOSPITALITY
On the island of Ireland, food and drink is a passion, inspired by a wealth of home-grown fresh produce, talented farmers, growers and artisan makers.
ICC Belfast’s on-site catering epitomises Northern Ireland’s love of hospitality. It has recently achieved ISO20121, the internationally recognised standard for sustainable hospitality in the events industry.
Delegates enjoying the rest of Belfast’s hospitality scene will discover Michelin Star restaurants, Bib Gourmand bistros, artisan cafes and fresh produce markets; at night, pubs and bars cater for every mood, and music is almost always woven into the night’s ‘craic’.
AWARD-WINNING
In 2023, Belfast was named Best Conference Destination in the Conference and Incentive Travel (C&IT) Awards. ICC Belfast also triumphed at the global Eventex awards and micebook Awards, celebrating events such as One Young World and Cyber UK.
Last year the venue achieved Green Meetings Gold accreditation, demonstrating its commitment to reducing the environmental impact of its business.
