Wednesday, November 13, 2024 New details have emerged about the ambitious £1.3 billion redevelopment of Olympia, which includes the construction of a landmark conference center slated to open in late spring 2026. This state-of-the-art facility will boast an auditorium with seating for 850, eight versatile breakout rooms, a boardroom, a business lounge, and exclusive dining and bar areas for private hire.
Spanning approximately 3,000 square meters, the flexible space is designed to accommodate a wide range of events, from theater-style conferences to prestigious award ceremonies. The conference center will integrate seamlessly with Olympia’s four iconic exhibition spaces, allowing for customized configurations for large-scale events. It will feature a modern entrance and reception on Hammersmith Road, enhancing the visitor experience with sleek registration areas.
Nick Graham , Head of Sales, comments: “It’s an extremely exciting time for Olympia Events with our new conference centre due to launch in 2026. There’s nowhere else in London that will be able to offer the combination of over 130 years of heritage with unparalleled new facilities – it really is the best of both worlds. It has been great to see such a strong level of interest more than a year ahead of opening as it shows people are as excited about our future as we are!” Already stirring considerable interest, the Olympia Conference Center has received over 300 inquiries this year alone from diverse sect.
