East London International Convention Centre (Premier Hotel EL ICC)
Overview & Capacity
The EL ICC is East London's congress answer - a 1,900 m2 exhibition hall that takes 2,100 cinema or 1,500 banquet (and will hold a car for a launch), a 580-seat auditorium, six conference rooms, and roughly 435 hotel rooms across the linked Premier Hotel EL ICC and Regent to absorb the delegation. On the Esplanade beachfront with in-house catering and event management, it's the only true convention-scale venue on this side of the province. B&W treats it as the Buffalo City equivalent of the Boardwalk in the Bay: book it for scale, dress it for occasion.
B&W Production Notes
- High - largest dedicated ICC in the region; exhibition hall can display a vehicle, full event management
East London's only congress-scale room. The exhibition hall and 435 linked rooms make it the default for anything over 500 in Buffalo City.
